Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed his \u201cfeeling\u201d on Chelsea\u2019s attempts to sign two Dutch players as they look to copy an \u201cold Arsenal deal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Chelsea<\/strong> <\/a>have been active in the transfer market this summer as they sit second in our biggest spenders in Europe ranking.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Blues could easily end up at the top of this ranking as they remain in the market for further additions, with their current priorities Xavi Simons and Jorrel Hato.<\/p>\n The two up-and-coming Dutch players have been heavily linked with potential moves to the Premier League in recent years and Chelsea are currently leading the race to sign him.<\/p>\n Romano has revealed his \u201cfeeling\u201d on whether Chelsea are likely to finalise deals for the two players, with the club having a \u201cvery good chance\u201d of landing Simons.<\/p>\n \u201cChelsea are working on Hato and Xavi Simons. They won\u2019t always close deals in 24 hours. Sometimes you have to negotiate and discuss,\u201d Romano said on his YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Every Premier League club\u2019s transfer priority: Rodrygo to Arsenal, Isak, Liverpool, Chelsea clear-out<\/a> \u201cFor example, for Hato, Chelsea are using the old deal made by Arsenal a few years ago for Jurrien Timber \u2013 same position, same club \u2013 for the fee.<\/p>\n \u201cThey want to spend \u20ac40m and that\u2019s their idea in negotiations with Ajax. Ajax want more, so talks are ongoing. Chelsea feel strong because the player has taken a strong position as he\u2019s told Ajax he wants to go.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE CHELSEA COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> On Simons, Romano added: \u201cMy feeling is that this deal will happen. The relationship between the clubs is very good.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso on Xavi Simons, my feeling is the same. There are contacts ongoing, the relationship between the clubs is also good in this case.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are having two separate discussions, one for Carney Chukwuemeka, the other is for Xavi Simons. But Chelsea and RB Leipzig are in discussions.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the talks on personal terms are going very well. I think they\u2019ll agree every detail of personal terms very soon. I still expect Xavi Simons has a very good chance of joining Chelsea this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Romano provided a further update on Simons\u2019 situation on Saturday morning, confirming the Blues are in \u201cadvanced talks\u201d with RB Leipzig over signing the forward.<\/p>\n \u201cUnderstand Chelsea and RB Leipzig are now in advanced talks for Xavi Simons,\u201d Romano tweeted.<\/p>\n \u201cNegotiations club to club progressing well, still work to do but heading positive direction.<\/p>\n \u201cXavi, keen on Chelsea project with personal terms talks also advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed his \u201cfeeling\u201d on Chelsea\u2019s attempts to sign two Dutch players as they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[161,885,20110,94,225,4861,12,101,79,16,15,12813],"class_list":{"0":"post-293447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-chelsea","10":"tag-fabrizio-romano","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-home-page","13":"tag-jorrel-hato","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-xavi-simons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114919916451509254","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
