Tottenham are in discussions for a €60m plus add-ons deal with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons. Chelsea also remains interested in the player, but they need to sell two players first to meet UEFA regulations following a previous punishment.

Simons, a 22-year-old player, is considering a move to Tottenham, where he could potentially become one of the highest-paid players. He has been allowed to travel to London to finalize his decision.

Chelsea, who were initially the front-runners to sign Simons, must sell Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson before they can proceed with the deal due to UEFA restrictions. This situation has provided Tottenham with an opportunity to secure the player they desire.

Tottenham has made a strong offer to Simons and RB Leipzig, surpassing what Chelsea had proposed. Simons had previously favored a move to Chelsea but is now reconsidering his options.

Both Chelsea and Tottenham are working towards finalizing their respective deals, with Chelsea aiming to sign both Simons and Alejandro Garnacho if they manage to sell Nkunku and Jackson.

Tottenham is eager to avoid missing out on another key signing and is looking to strengthen their squad by acquiring a central playmaker and a wide attacker. The situation remains tense as both clubs strive to secure their transfer targets.
