The RB Leipzig star is set to move to the Premier League.
RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons is reportedly closing in on a move to the Premier League amid interest from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
This summer, Simons, 22, had been constantly linked with a move away from Leipzig.
Earlier in the transfer window, it was reported that Premier League giants Chelsea had agreed terms with the Dutchman but had so far failed to offer a sum that suits Leipzig.
On Friday morning, it was claimed that Chelsea's London rivals, Spurs, had agreed a fee with the Bundesliga side, believed to be €60 million.
Fabrizio Romano said: "EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham agree €60m fee with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons! Official bid accepted, green light after #THFC sent formal bid following player’s encouragement.
"Spurs want deal done today also on player side + medical in the next hours. Here we go, expected soon."
And now, Spurs look to have fully hijacked Chelsea's move with a medical said to have been completed.
Taking to social media, The Athletic's David Ornstein wrote: "Xavi Simons has completed medical before moving to Tottenham Hotspur from RB Leipzig. €60m deal agreed club-to-club + personal terms done for 22yo attacker to join #THFC pending final details being sorted between Dutch int'l and RB Leipzig."
