Overview

• Spurs announced the Netherlands international on a long-term contract after completing a medical and finalising terms with RB Leipzig.
• British media report a fee of roughly €60m (£51.8m), with Sky Sports saying he signed an initial five-year deal plus two optional years.
• Simons is set to be introduced to fans before the Bournemouth match and will wear the No. 7 shirt, with the move subject to international clearance and a work permit.
• Tottenham moved ahead of Chelsea interest to close the deal, as the Blues focused on other targets such as Alejandro Garnacho and explored Fermín López.
• The 22-year-old arrives with 22 goals and 24 assists in 78 games for Leipzig and 28 Netherlands caps, and follows Spurs’ unsuccessful pursuits of Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White; Spurs have also ended their chase of Man City’s Savinho.
