Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an initial £60 million bid for RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons as they attempt to beat Premier League rivals Chelsea to the Netherlands international before the September 1 transfer deadline.
The transfer fee could potentially increase to £70 million if all performance-related bonuses are achieved, demonstrating Spurs' serious commitment to landing the versatile Dutch midfielder.
The North London club are moving aggressively in the transfer market under new management, determined to strengthen their squad with high-quality additions.
Simons, who has been one of the most sought-after players in European football, has reportedly travelled to London to secure a transfer, indicating his willingness to make the move to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old's arrival would represent a significant coup for Tottenham, who are looking to build on their recent successes and establish themselves as consistent top-four contenders.
Chelsea's interest in the player adds another layer of intrigue to the deal, with both London clubs vying for his signature.
The Dutch international's technical ability, creativity, and versatility make him an attractive proposition for any Premier League side looking to add quality to their midfield ranks.
