Barcelona manager Xavi is plotting a transfer move for Chelsea wing stars Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports in Spain.
Xavi, newly appointed on November 6, is thought to be keen to revamp the club’s attack, with the Blues trio high on his shortlist.
And as reported by Catalan Daily Sport, via AS, all three Premier League stars could be willing to leave Stamford Bridge and join the Spaniard’s new era at the Nou Camp.

All of them are currently struggling for regular action under Thomas Tuchel, with a wealth of attacking options like Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount available to the German blocking their path to the first-team.
Pulisic, 23, is generally part of the squad when available, but has struggled with a succession of niggling injuries and has only played five minutes in the league since the opening game of the season against Crystal Palace.
In the league, Ziyech, 28, has only managed 181 minutes with no attacking returns, and 21-year-old Hudson-Odoi only 385, with his sole goal and assist coming in a 7-0 demolition of relegation favourites Norwich.

The new boss is keen to revamp his ageing attacking line in the wake of a serious injury crisis
Given the Spanish giants’ financial constraints, Xavi is thought to be willing to explore loan moves as well as permanent transfers, with his squad looking light following an injury crisis.
Xavi has already made his first signing, bringing back former team-mate Dani Alves, 38, on a free transfer after he left Sao Paulo.
Reports suggest he is also eyeing up another former Blaugrana player in Liverpool playmaker Thiago, and Manchester City and England star Raheem Sterling.
