Granit Xhaka may return to play in London.

German journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that "Chelsea" has reached a personal agreement with Granit Xhaka for a transfer to the "aristocrats."

Another journalist Fabrizio Romano adds that G. Xhaka would practically agree to all conditions to return to play in London and reunite with coach Xabi Alonso, whom he knows well from their time together at Bayer Leverkusen.

The Swiss player had a very solid season at "Sunderland," which finished in the top seven.

"Chelsea" now needs to negotiate with the "Sunderland" club itself.
