Told over the weekend by an insider close to negotiations: Chelsea confident on signing new player | OneFootball

Chelsea are apparently confident that they can sign one of their new transfer targets in the final seven days of the transfer window.

This has been told to one outlet over the weekend by an insider who is close to the negotiations of this particular deal apparently.

EXCLUSIVE! Cole Palmer injured and how long he’s expected to be out for!

Chelsea are drastically trying to complete some more transfer deals as we go into the final seven days of the summer transfer window, and they are close to getting two of their players to join Borussia Dortmund. Carney Chukwuemeka is taking his medical there to join them on a permanent deal today, and defender Aaron Anselmino is set to join them on loan.

And Chelsea have also been linked with a new centre back this week as well, although it looks like they will need to move fast if they want to sign Piero Hinapie from Bayer Leverkusen this window as it seems that Arsenal are advancing on him.

What every Chelsea fan wants to hear on the most right now though is whether the club are going to get a deal completed to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, a saga that has been going on far too long now.

Chelsea now have seven days to get the Xavi Simons deal over the line and Football London was told over the weekend by an insider close to negotiations that there remains a confidence this one will eventually get done.

Chelsea are apparently still in talks with RB Leipzig over a deal to bring Simons to Stamford Bridge.

The deal has been going on for a while now but it looks like Chelsea need to sell players to balance the books and make some space in the squad first as well.
