There are some big claims coming out of Europe suggesting that a big Chelsea transfer deal will be done by this Friday.
It’s not the only big claim we are hearing about being made this Wednesday lunch time either, there has been a big claim made about Xavi Simons to Chelsea.
In fact, a very reliable insider is claiming that Xavi Simons WILL become a Chelsea player this transfer window with the deal advancing and expected to happen now.
The main man Fabrizio Romano has been teasing this deal for a while now and he had some positive and fresh updates on it this morning as the deal appears to be progressing.
But this isn’t the only deal that is expected to happen now very soon and as we know, Chelsea have also been turning attentions to outgoing deals and trying to get some of them done as well before the window closes in the next six weeks.
Chelsea are continuing to be linked with a number of potential new signings including possibly even more attackers even after Simons is done, another centre back, and maybe even a new goalkeeper still.
Chelsea certainly still need a new goalkeeper to come in this window, nobody is trusting Robert Sanchez yet and that’s been made clear by the Blues fan base and former Chelsea players and pundits.

Joao Felix is expected to depart Chelsea this window, and this is the second big claim that has been made today that we have been talking about above.
According to Record in Portugal, João Félix is very close to confirming his return to Benfica. The deal is close to being finalised for €25 million for half of the Portuguese international’s transfer fee. And is expected to be done by Friday.
