The Xavi Simons to Chelsea rumours have picked up steam this week, and some new information has fans rife with speculation over the move.

Xavi Simons is one of the hottest properties up for auction this summer, with a general acceptance from his current club that he will leave, but Simons has remained respectful towards Leipzig throughout the process.

Chelsea have emerged as frontrunners in the race for the talented Dutchman, picking up in their pursuit of Simons with Enzo Maresca seeing him as too good an opportunity to pass on.

And fans have noticed something that points towards Simons making the move to London in the near future.

Xavi Simons takes RB Leipzig out of his Instagram bio

Yes, the number one indicator of an imminent move. No doubt Chelsea fans have been checking his page in ten-minute intervals all week, and finally they have noticed a change.

While a bio change is far from a ‘Here we go’, it has certainly hinted at impending change for Simons’ career.

Given the links that have persisted between Simons and Chelsea all week, fans seem to think this deal is as good as done.

If so, it marks yet another brilliant young talent opting to come to Stamford Bridge, and adds to the selection headache facing Maresca next season.

Where does Xavi Simons play for Chelsea

If this means what fans think it does and Simons is in fact on the way to Chelsea, questions must be asked about what their lineup will look like next season.

Chelsea value Simons’ versatility, seeing him as an option across the frontline and in the 10.

Cole Palmer tends to occupy that inside right space for much of the 90 minutes, so Simons will likely be operating to the left, which is where he prefers to play anyway.

But with Alejandro Garnacho still on Chelsea’s wishlist, and Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro just some of the names who will be looking for consistent minutes in attack, Maresca has a puzzle to solve.

But hey, most fans will agree it’s a good problem to have.
