Tottenham Complete Xavi Simons Signing From RB Leipzig

The Netherlands international arrives to bolster Tottenham’s creativity after injuries, with the fee widely reported near €60 million.

Overview

  • Spurs confirmed the 22-year-old has joined on a long-term contract, with multiple outlets reporting a five-year deal plus a two-year option.
  • Medical and paperwork were completed Friday after Leipzig allowed Simons to travel to London to finalise the move.
  • Chelsea were strongly linked earlier in the window but did not submit a formal offer, focusing instead on a deal for Alejandro Garnacho.
  • Reports vary on the price — around €60m in total, with some citing €65m plus €5m in add‑ons — and Leipzig are understood to have secured a sell‑on clause.
  • Simons, who tallied 22 goals and 24 assists in 78 games for Leipzig, may not be registered in time to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
