Chelsea are closing in on a season-long loan for Brighton attacker Facundo Buonanotte amid ongoing sales to satisfy UEFA financial constraints.
Tottenham are set to sign Xavi Simons from Red Bull Leipzig for a fee in the region of €60 million (£70m), sources have told ESPN. The 22-year-old was in London on Thursday to finalise a move having been given permission to travel by Leipzig. Sources have told ESPN that Chelsea have held an interest all summer but have opted not to rival Spurs with a formal offer, instead focusing their efforts on completing the £40m ($53m) signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
