Chelsea step up efforts to sign Garnacho and Simons in reshuffle

The club have brought in Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, and moves for Garnacho and Simons are understood to be their priority.

Garnacho has played no part in United's pre-season and is thought to be available for about £50m, although Chelsea are understood to be reluctant to pay that.

The Argentina forward is believed to be keen to move to Stamford Bridge after Ruben Amorim made clear the 21-year-old is not part of his plans at Old Trafford.

Chelsea have yet to make an official approach but are likely to do so, with United seeking to balance their books as they close on the signing of Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig.

Chelsea are in talks with the German club over Simons, who is understood to have agreed personal terms despite interest from Bayern Munich.

The 22-year-old, who can play in several attacking roles, joined Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain in January for €50m after two successful loan spells.
