Chelsea are in talks to sign Ajax’s Jorrel Hato and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons. However, to follow UEFA’s financial rules and manage their large squad, the Blues need to raise over £60 million to bring in new players for the 2025-26 Champions League season. This means selling or loaning out several players who were either on loan last season or not playing regularly under coach Enzo Maresca. Jorrel Hato is a versatile Ajax defender who can play centre-back or left-back. The 19-year-old impressed last season with consistent performances. Chelsea’s interest in the player signals their intent to strengthen the backline. To make room for new defensive recruits, players like Ben Chilwell and Axel Disasi could be on the move. Chilwell was part of Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ last pre-season but stayed because no deal was finalized. The club will try to sell or loan him in 2025, preferably permanently. Similarly, Disasi, who was on loan last season, is also likely to be sold to free up money and squad spots. RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, an attacking midfielder, is a top target after a remarkable season, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists in 34 Bundesliga games. He could transform Chelsea’s attack.

Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...
