Tottenham complete €60M signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons

Tottenham have completed the signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

The clubs agreed to a deal worth €60 million for the 22-year-old Netherlands international, who signed a five-year contract with an option for two more seasons.

Spurs turned to Simons to bolster head coach Thomas Frank’s attacking options after missing out on deals for Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze. His arrival comes after the significant setback of losing James Maddison to a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The Netherlands international became available this summer, despite only making a permanent move to the Bundesliga club from Paris Saint-Germain in January for a €50 million fee.

This transfer represents a key acquisition for Spurs, who have already secured the permanent signings of attackers Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel, as well as the loan arrival of Joao Palhinha.
