Tottenham Hotspur have secured a long-awaited attacking deal, reaching an agreement with Leipzig for Xavi Simons.
The London club were on the verge of signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, but the player decided at the last minute to join Arsenal.
Spurs then moved to sign Savinho from Manchester City, but Pep Guardiola decided to keep the Brazilian despite a €70 million offer.
Ultimately, Tottenham secured their usual attacking deal, signing Dutchman Xavi Simons for over €60 million.
Simmons had been in negotiations with Chelsea for a long time, and according to Sky Sports, the Blues ultimately decided against signing him due to Leipzig’s high financial demands.
Simons has been one of the most prominent players in the Bundesliga over the past two years, and he was also on Bayern Munich’s radar before club president Uli Hoeness decided not to sign him or anyone else and wait until next year to make major signings.
