Chelsea have been mostly involved with transfer exits in recent days. But that does not mean that they are not involved in the other side of things as well. It looks like the Blues want to get the outgoings done as soon as possible before focusing on more arrivals, having already brought in Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Jorrel Hato so far.
One of the players who is believed to be on the radar of Chelsea is Xavi Simons. The Dutch international is viewed as an option for Enzo Maresca's side, who have already said goodbye to Joao Felix this summer and are expected to do the same with Christopher Nkunku at some point over the upcoming weeks.
Simons is someone who could be an excellent addition to this Chelsea team. At the same time, it appears that RB Leipzig have already started to look at alternative options.
As reported by This is Anfield, Liverpool are in preliminary talks with RB Leipzig over a permanent deal for Harvey Elliott. The Bundesliga club have made contact over a possible transfer.

That has to be viewed as great news for Chelsea in their quest to sign Simons this summer. It is also worth mentioning that the Dutchman is not the only key player expected to leave RB Leipzig this summer.
Benjamin Sesko seems to be closing in on an exit as well. It appears that both Manchester United and Newcastle United are keen to sign him. Incidentally, Alexander Isak wanting to leave might have started this entire game of transfer dominoes.
Let's see how things turn out for Chelsea, as they aim to get a deal over the line for Simons over the coming weeks. Right now, it is expected to happen.
