Overview

• Tottenham confirmed the signing and said Simons will wear the No. 7 shirt following his departure from RB Leipzig.
• Multiple outlets report a guaranteed fee of about €60 million, with add-ons and a sell-on component potentially increasing the total.
• Reporting differs on contract length, with some stating a deal through 2030 with an option for two more years and others citing 2032.
• Leipzig’s summer sales now total roughly €150 million, with the club weighing a striker addition and greater use of Assan Ouédraogo and Andrija Maksimovic rather than a direct No. 10 replacement.
• The transfer accelerated after Simons was excused from training to travel to London for talks and a medical as Spurs moved quickly late in the window.
