Tottenham pulling off Chelsea transfer HIJACK as Xavi Simons 'completes his medical' after agreeing £52m deal - leaving Blues fans fuming

Tottenham have reportedly reached an agreement to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons in a £51.8million deal.

Thomas Frank's side turned their attention to the Netherlands international after failing in their attempts to land Morgan Gibbs-White, Savinho and Eberechi Eze.

Simons, a versatile attacking midfielder who can play as an energetic number 10 or wide, was given permission by Leipzig to leave the training camp and complete a move.

The 22-year-old, who was in talks to join Chelsea this summer, and his advisors flew to London on Thursday afternoon.
