Tottenham are edging closer to sealing a major deal for Xavi Simons, with the length of contract now revealed as talks with RB Leipzig reach an advanced stage.
A lot has transpired since reports emerged yesterday that Xavi Simons made a trip to London to finalise details about his future.
Tottenham Hotspur have since placed themselves in the driving seat in the race to sign Simons, despite Chelsea having already agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old midfielder.
Reports now claim that Tottenham have reached a €60million (£51m) agreement with RB Leipzig, putting themselves ahead of Chelsea for now, with the Blues yet to submit an official offer for the Dutchman.
Tottenham have agreed a seven-year contract with Xavi Simons
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has now revealed in a post on X the full extent of the agreement Tottenham are working towards with Simons this summer.
According to Plettenberg, Xavi Simons has agreed to a seven-year contract with Spurs, which would keep him at the club until 2032. However, he made clear that the deal is yet to be officially signed, despite an agreement being in place.
His post on X reads: “Xavi Simons has agreed a 7-year contract with Tottenham, running until 2032. Contract not yet signed. Tottenham”.
Spurs still pushing to get Xavi Simons deal completed
Tottenham insider Paul O Keefe also revealed earlier today that Spurs are hoping to finalise a deal for Simons before their clash against Bournemouth this weekend.
Simons is currently earning €115,835 (around £100,000) per week at RB Leipzig, a figure that comfortably fits within Tottenham’s current wage structure even if the Dutchman wants a pay rise.
With personal terms agreed and a fee in place with Leipzig, David Ornstein has further explained that only minor paperwork is left before Simons can be confirmed as a Tottenham player, making this one to watch closely.
