Elliott favourite to replace Xavi Simons after Bayern game, reports Sky Germany

The English U-21 EUROs winner is tipped to take over from Xavi Simons who is expected to join the Blues.

Harvey Elliott is considered RB Leipzig’s top target to replace Xavi Simons, going by Sky Germany’s latest update.

As previously reported on Bulinews, Simons is set to move to Chelsea after the Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern Munich.

The Saxon club have already agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old midfielder whose Liverpool contract runs until June 2027.

Should a suitable offer arrive, the reigning Premier League champions would be willing to let him go this summer.

After a big summer of spending, including the arrivals of Florin Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké, it’s clear Elliott’s minutes would be limited greatly.

Last season, Elliott made just 18 topflight appearances for the Reds while scoring a goal and delivering 2 assists.
