One of the best young players in Europe right now, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to be Spurs’ major summer acquisition as Thomas Frank seeks to infuse his team with more energy and creativity.
Per a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by respected transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur has agreed to a €60 million fee with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons.

‘Official bid accepted, green light after #THFC sent a formal bid following the player’s encouragement.
“Spurs want the deal done today, also on the player side + medical in the next hours.” Romano wrote on his X page.
While on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to Leipzig last season, Simons made an impression, tallying double digits in goals and assists across all competitions.
Top teams in Europe rekindled their interest in the versatile midfielder as a result of his achievements; Arsenal, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich were among them.
With a rumoured €60 million fee agreed upon and personal terms apparently at an advanced stage, Tottenham looks to have won the race. If successful, the transfer would be a major statement of intent from the Spurs as they prepare for the new season.
