Tottenham hijack Chelsea’s interest in Xavi Simons
Tottenham’s swift action effectively turned the heat on Chelsea, who had pursued Simons throughout the summer but never finalised a bid. Spurs moved decisively to secure a club‑to‑club agreement with Leipzig, finally clinching a €60 million offer, a clear statement in a fast‑paced transfer race.
Medical completed, Xavi Simons to Tottenham deal nearly done
Simons travelled to London, underwent his medical, and is now poised to sign for Tottenham once the paperwork is wrapped up. His arrival provides much‑needed depth in the attacking midfield role, particularly with the absence of James Maddison due to injury.
A statement signing amid Spurs’ summer rebuild
The signing marks yet another high‑profile piece of Tottenham’s summer rebuild, coming after Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, and others. Simons brings creativity and goal threat from midfield, addressing a key void at a pivotal time in the window.
All that remains now is the formal confirmation. If everything goes smoothly, Spurs will welcome their new Dutch playmaker imminently.
