Tottenham Hotspur has successfully signed Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, a significant addition for new manager Thomas Frank. The 22-year-old versatile attacker joins Spurs in a deal worth an initial £51.8m with additional add-ons.

Simons expressed his excitement about joining Tottenham, highlighting his dream come true and determination to contribute to the team. He brings flair, hard work, and discipline to the club, aiming to win for both the team and the fans.

Despite initial interest from Chelsea, Simons chose Tottenham due to the club's appeal and the Head Coach's vision. The midfielder's move to Spurs was facilitated by Leipzig's willingness to let him go for a substantial fee.

Having excelled at Leipzig with 24 assists and 22 goals in 78 appearances, Simons is expected to provide multiple options for Frank, capable of playing on the wings or as a number 10. His signing comes after Tottenham's pursuit of other midfielders faced setbacks, including injuries and failed transfers.
