Tottenham Hotspur finally have some good news coming their way.
The North Londoners have had a great start to the new season, winning each of their first two games in the Premier League under Thomas Frank.
On the transfer front, however, things haven’t gone to plan as both Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze ended up rejecting a move to Tottenham.
Now, Spurs hope they’ve finally caught a break.
Tottenham’s bid to sign Xavi Simons has been accepted
Xavi Simons has been one of the big names in this summer’s transfer window.
The Dutchman, hailed as ‘unbelievable‘ by Arsenal legend Ian Wright, has wanted to leave RB Leipzig since the start of the summer, and talks have been ongoing.
Chelsea have been really keen to sign Simons, and many in the game believed that the 22-year-old would eventually end up at Stamford Bridge.
However, very late on Thursday night, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham tabled a €60 million (£52m) bid for Simons, and Leipzig have accepted that proposal.
Spurs want to wrap up the deal on Friday.
Romano tweeted: “Tottenham agree €60m fee with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons!
“Official bid accepted, green light after Tottenham sent a formal bid following the player’s encouragement.
“Spurs want a deal done today also on the player’s side + medical in the next hours. Here we go, expected soon!”
TBR Football exclusively revealed on Thursday that Tottenham are ready to match Chelsea’s salary offer for Simons, which ranges somewhere between £180,000 and 200,000 per week.
Tottenham fans cannot get excited just yet
Hearing the news that Tottenham have had a bid accepted for an incredible player like Simons is great news, but Spurs supporters cannot get too excited.
Having already seen moves for Morgan Gibbs-White and Eze fail in this window, Tottenham fans know that a deal is not done until everything is signed.
Spurs’ plan for Friday is to reach an agreement on personal terms with Simons and then complete his medical, along with other formalities.
