Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign Dutch international Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig after agreeing a fee of about €60 million, with a medical completed in London and personal terms in place, according to ESPN and The Athletic (via X). The move would deliver a major attacking addition for manager Thomas Frank as Spurs prepare for Champions League and domestic campaigns.
Chelsea monitored Simons throughout the window but did not lodge a formal bid, leaving Tottenham to close on the transfer, as reported by ESPN. The deal is also reported to include a sell-on clause for Leipzig, per the Evening Standard.
What’s next: A club announcement is expected once final paperwork is completed; it remains unclear whether Simons can be registered in time to face Bournemouth this weekend, according to ESPN.
