Tottenham have finalised a £60m transfer for 22-year-old Netherlands international Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Simons has completed a medical and signed a contract running until 2030 with a two-year option. The fee is fixed at £60m. The move ended strong interest from Chelsea, who were reportedly close to submitting a bid before Tottenham intervened. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy made a late, surprise phone approach that shifted negotiations. The transfer secures an attacking midfielder for Spurs immediately ahead of the season and concludes a swift late-summer recruitment.
