Chelsea and Tottenham Battle for Xavi Simons
The battle has heated up between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur for the signing of Dutch star Xavi Simons, a Leipzig player, during the current summer transfer window.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea has not yet made a formal offer despite having agreed on personal terms with the player weeks ago, while Tottenham has made a formal offer of 70 million euros including add-ons, giving them the advantage in the race for the signing.
Simons, 22 years old, prefers to move to one of the Premier League clubs, as he is keen to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
The player has had multiple experiences with clubs such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and PSV Eindhoven, before joining Leipzig in 2023.
