Chelsea talent Xavier Simons has agreed personal terms to complete a permanent move to Hull City ahead of the summer transfer window. Simons signed for the Championship outfit on loan at the start of the 2022/23 campaign and has impressed when given the chance to play at the MKM Stadium.
The 20-year-old made his Hull debut in the FA Cup defeat against Fulham but has been handed more minutes under Liam Rosenior. Rosenior feels Simons was undervalued before he was appointed as boss in November, and is now keen to give him a prominent role as a full-time player.
The young midfielder, who is capable of playing in multiple defensive roles, has been convinced by Hull to turn his loan deal into a permanent move with Chelsea set to accept a transfer bid for the 20-year-old. Simons himself has admitted he has come to the end of his road at Stamford Bridge and is keen to progress his career in east Yorkshire.
