Targets: Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho - (London Standard)

Chelsea have put summer moves for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons on hold as they prioritise a final-week push in their bumper summer of sales.

Garnacho and Simons want to move to Stamford Bridge, and the deals remain alive, but the Blues believe both signings can be completed in the final days of the window and are prioritising sales first.
