'Remains an option'- Fabrizio Romano reveals how Chelsea feel about €65m rated transfer target
Chelsea 'really like' and 'appreciate' RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea haven't ruled out adding another attacker, whilst they are also said to be in the market for a left sided defender to strengthen Enzo Maresca's squad. Chelsea big fans of Xavi Simons Chelsea reportedly want as many as eight or nine attacking options in their squad to rotate between next season. Noni Madueke has joined Arsenal, whilst Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix are both expected to leave, meaning there's space for another attacker. There was interest in Mohammed Kudus, who's now joined Tottenham, as well as Hugo Ekitike who's close to joining Liverpool. Simons is on the radar of both Chelsea and Arsenal this summer. (Photo by) Morgan Rogers is also of interest, but there have been a number of links to Leipzig star Simons over the past few days. Chelsea reportedly have Simons on their radar, whilst there's also said to be interest from rivals Arsenal in the 22-year-old.

Rory McIlroy makes Royal Portrush plea as he leaves with everything 'bar the Claret Jug'
Rory McIlroy says he hopes he has "one or two Opens left" at Royal Portrush as he refected on an "awesome week" which saw him leave with everything apart from a Claret Jug. Rory fever hit the Dunluce Links as thousands cheered on their golfing hero willing him to add to his major tally on home soil. In the end it just wasn't to be for McIlroy as he came up short to the greatness of Scottie Scheffler, who stormed to victory in the Open for the very first time. READ MORE: Rory McIlroy forces Sky Sports commentator to apologise after behaviour at The Open READ MORE: Rory McIlroy's behaviour behind the scenes brought up as Open star speaks out For the world no.2 though it was a special week, full of emotion for all the right reasons, and he is hoping it won't be the last on these shores. "I tried as best as I could to keep my emotions in check, especially walking up the last there and that reception," said McIlroy after finishing on -10. "Yeah, look, it's been an awesome week. I've gotten everything I wanted out of this week apart from a Claret Jug, and that's just because one person was just a little bit better than the rest of us. "It's been an amazing week, just the -- I feel so thankful and just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of this crowd. "Hopefully I'll have one or two Opens left here, if the R&A decide to keep coming back, probably one while I'm still competitive and another one while I'm more grey than I already am. "It's just been incredible to come back here and to play and at least feel like I had a chance today going out there. Just an awesome week." McIlroy says he is not alone in loving Royal Portrush and he praised everyone involved for making it happen. "Honestly, I think Portrush has quickly turned into one of the best two or three venues that The Open goes to," he said. "Talk to every player this week, and they won't say one single bad thing about the golf course. "Then I just think the way it sets up, from a logistical standpoint, I think the R&A have worked so well with the local government to make sure everything runs smoothly. "Yeah, I hope so. It's only been six years since 2019. I'm not sure Portrush is going to have The Open every six years, that would be nice, but I would obviously love it to keep coming back."
