Xavi Simons has reportedly travelled to London for transfer talks that would see him leave RB Leipzig for a fee of up to £60million.
Simons, 22, had been targeted by Chelsea earlier on in the window only for their London rivals Tottenham now leapfrogging them in the race to sign him.
According to BILD, training at Leipzig had already taken place without him ahead of their game against Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Simons is said to have been 'released until further notice for future discussions,' according to the publication after they contacted club officials.
