- Spurs launch €70m bid for Simons
- تشيلسي risk losing summer-long target
- Leipzig star flies to London showdown
Chelsea had been circling for months, believing Stamford Bridge would be Simons’ natural destination. Yet, as negotiations dragged on, Spurs spotted an opening and pounced in ruthless موضة, submitting a €70m bid, as reported by سماء ألمانيا.
Tottenham‘s aggressive push comes after the devastating injury to James Maddison, who is expected to miss most of the season with an ACL tear. Earlier pursuits have ended in frustration: attempts to land Morgan Gibbs-White were blocked by نوتنغهام فورست, while Arsenal‘s late hijack for Eberechi Eze left Spurs humiliated. This time, توتنهام are determined not to come second-best.
Chelsea are yet to submit an offer for Simons to Leipzig. Meanwhile, they have seen an offer rejected by برشلونة for Fermin Lopez and are also chasing a complicated deal for Manchester United‘s Alejandro Garnacho. Chelsea could still return with a counteroffer, but time is against them. Spurs are pushing hard to close the deal, with Simons already in the capital to hold key talks.
Securing Simons would not only plug the gap left by Maddison but also provide Frank with a statement signing, proof that Spurs can still compete with their London rivals in the market. The Danish coach has insisted all summer that fresh attacking blood would arrive. Talks with مانشستر سيتي over rising star سافينيو fizzled out earlier this week, but the Simons deal signals Tottenham’s intent to go big.
