Fabrizio Romano hints at another name to Xavi Simons/Fermin Lopez for Chelsea target | OneFootball

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has been hinting at another name to Xavi Simons or Fermin Lopez as a Chelsea target this window.

Time is running out drastically now of course, but if Chelsea are to get a new attacking midfielder in this window, then they are going to have to work very fast now.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have late discussion about signing Arsenal defender this window!!

It looks like they are about to let Xavi Simons join Tottenham late on this window after they came in and worked fast to try and sign him yesterday. Romano has now reported an agreed fee between the two clubs there and it looks like that could soon be confirmed.

Chelsea fans will be fuming, but Spurs started coming in yesterday and the news grew bigger throughout the day and they advanced on Simons and Chelsea are yet to react. I guess they still could react, but it’s looking very unlikely now at this point.

So if Chelsea do not get Simons, who will they go for? Fermin Lopez from Barcelona perhaps? He has been linked as well this week and there’s been noise growing on that. But there could be a completely different name that they end up going for.

Romano hints at a different name

Fabrizio Romano delivers yet more superb transfer news.

Fabrizio Romano had his latest YouTube video out yesterday, and he said:

“It’s not only Fermin Lopez or Xavi Simons. I think eventually if Simons doesn’t happen, Chelsea will have more options. The world is not ending at those two. But let’s see tomorrow on the Simons transfer. Spurs have gone big, but it’s time for Chelsea to decide.”

Too little too late?

If Chelsea are going to bid an match Spurs offer then they are going to have to do that first thing this morning because Spurs are about to agree terms with Simons and then it will all be too late.
