Chelsea set to hold further talks with RB Leipzig TODAY over Xavi Simons deal as Blues look to fight off late Tottenham interest to land £60m target

Chelsea are expected to hold further talks with RB Leipzig today over a deal for Xavi Simons despite late interest from Tottenham.

The Dutch midfielder played against Bayern Munich last night.

Although he has already strengthened his frontline with the arrivals of Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Estevao, Enzo Maresca wants further reinforcements.

As such, the club are working on closing deals for both Simons and Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho before the summer window closes.

They are understood to have been in talks with Leipzig over Simons for several weeks, but an official opening offer has not been lodged.
