Sky Sports Germany: Chelsea currently the most ‘concrete’ option for £60m Bundesliga attacker — Arsenal also still in the race

Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons this summer.
 

The 22-year-old is widely expected to leave the Bundesliga club ahead of next season, with multiple top European clubs linked with a move.

In recent days, both Arsenal and Chelsea have been mentioned as possible destinations for the Netherlands international, while Bayern Munich have also been credited with an interest.

Now, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claims that Chelsea are currently the most concrete option for Simons.

It is understood that talks have already taken place between Chelsea and the player's representatives, although negotiations between the clubs are yet to begin.

Arsenal are also believed to be monitoring the Leipzig star's situation, but Chelsea's interest is currently the most advanced.
