After Chelsea could not close the deal to recruit Xavi Simons, Tottenham quickly completed the recruitment of the Dutch player.
Tottenham robbed Xavi Simons in front of Chelsea
Xavi Simons is among the players chasing closely this summer. The Dutch player publicly wishes to leave RB Leipzig and Chelsea sent a proposal to the German team for a contract with Xavi Simons.
But after that, the deal was suddenly interrupted. The RB Leipzig is very tough with the Blues when the British team approaches Xavi Simons. The number that the Bundesliga representative requires up to 70 million euros for Simons's signature.
This price makes Chelsea falter. Coach Enzo Maresca's team really wants Xavi Simons, but Chelsea cannot sell Nicolas Jackson and Nkunku makes the Blues hesitate before “down money” with Xavi Simons.

Xavi Simons landed in Tottenham |
When the deal was trapped, Tottenham suddenly appeared and quickly closed the contract with the Dutch player. According to Fabrizio Romano, “rooster” accepted to spend 60 million euros to bring Xavi Simons back to the home team.
Even the two sides have completed the medical examination procedure and the contract has been signed. Now just waiting for Tottenham to announce. Xavi Simons is expected to launch Spurs fans in this weekend against Bournemouth.
Initially, Xavi Simons was not in the Spurs plan. But failure in two Morgan Gibbs-White deals as well as Eberechi Eze forced Tottenham to change the plan and turn to Xavi Simons.
The number of 60 million euros for Xavi Simons makes this player one of the most expensive contracts in Tottenham history. Last year, Tottenham completed a record deal called Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for £ 64 million.
Commenting Tottenham vs Bournemouth tilted a little towards the home team, this match is also expected to have many goals scored.
The 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the second round of the Premier League 2025/26 is very commendable. But this unexpected victory could not cover the fact that Tottenham still needs to add a creative midfielder in the context of the field race in the Premier League is always extremely fierce and Spurs are losing two of the most ideal midfielders because of injury.
