How £60m Xavi Simons feels about the idea of joining Tottenham instead of Chelsea

6 hours ago 3

Tottenham Hotspur receive a boost in their hopes of beating Chelsea to Xavi Simons in the final week of the transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons has now stepped up a level, with reports suggesting that the Dutch international is already in London.

The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Chelsea long considered favourites for his signature, but Tottenham have now moved into a commanding position to secure the services of Simons.

For Spurs fans, who have had to watch the club struggle in their attempts to bring in a creative number ten, the latest updates point towards a potentially huge breakthrough in what has been a frustrating window.

Tottenham edge closer to Xavi Simons transfer

TBR Football are now the latest outlet to report on Xavi Simons, and they claim that Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of landing the Dutchman have received a major boost.

It has been revealed that Simons is now ready to stop waiting for Chelsea and instead focus on a move to Tottenham, which would represent a significant turning point in this transfer saga.

While Chelsea has been widely reported to have already agreed personal terms with Simons, they have shown little urgency in meeting RB Leipzig’s £60 million valuation, and their slow progress has opened the door for Spurs to push forward with the deal.

That lack of movement from Stamford Bridge has left Simons’ representatives looking at alternative options, and Tottenham are now advancing discussions, with the player himself happy to engage with the North London club.

Why Spurs desperately need Simons this summer

With Chelsea dragging their feet, this is a prime opportunity for Tottenham to finally secure a number ten who can transform their attacking play before the transfer window shuts.

The recent injuries to Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison have underlined just how vital it is that Spurs bring in a creative spark, particularly as the club prepares to compete on multiple fronts this season.

It could prove to be a perfect fit for both sides, as Xavi Simons is clearly tired of waiting around for Chelsea to act, while Tottenham should be equally tired of searching endlessly for a number ten.
