Chelsea have moved ahead of Arsenal in the transfer race to sign Xavi Simons from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, according to fresh reports. Both Chelsea and Arsenal have been monitoring Simons this summer – along with Bayern Munich – but the Blues are now in pole position.

Benjamin Sesko was the standout candidate for the Gunners as a striker, but the board turned attention to Viktor Gyökeres as the weeks went by. If Arsenal are willing to be flexible again, Simons could be a creative profile to bring in should their interest in Eberechi Eze run aground.
