Xavi Simons travelled to London after RB Leipzig granted him leave to pursue transfer discussions ahead of the closing days of the summer window. Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are both pursuing the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, with Spurs racing to convince him to join amid Chelsea interest. Simons developed at Barcelona's academy before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, later joining PSV where he scored 22 goals in 48 games and prompted a PSG buy-back. He moved to RB Leipzig on loan, then permanently, and has established himself as a Dutch international valued around €70 million.
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are set to battle it out for Xavi Simons' signature during the final days of the summer transfer window. Simons has been granted leave by club side RB Leipzig and reportedly travelled to England ahead of completing a transfer to the Premier League. Spurs are in a race against time to persuade Simons the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is where he should commit his future, though, as Chelsea are also known to be interested in the attacking midfielder.
The 22-year-old spent nine years in Barcelona's academy before a 2019 move to Paris Saint-Germain. Due to a complex and competitive first-team pathway at Parc des Princes, Simons joined Dutch side PSV in a permanent transfer ahead of the 2022-23 season but after scoring 22 times in 48 appearances, returned to PSG after the French champions triggered a reported 6 million buy-back clause.
