According to the Ass, Tottenham Hotspur intends to sign Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simmons, and they will turn to Lukeman if the deal fails to be reached.

Spurs plans to make a big move at the end of this summer's transfer market, and although everything seems to be following Levi's plan at the beginning of the month, the situation has become complicated. Madison will miss the entire season with a cruciate ligament injury, coupled with a series of signing failures, the most recent one was rejected by Nico Pas, and Tottenham can only turn to alternatives now: Xavi Simmons.

According to British media reports and confirmed by Ass, Tottenham Hotspur has asked about Simmons' situation in recent days. These are some informal conversations that aim to test whether there will be any accidents before the transfer deadline, after all, "everything is possible" has appeared this summer many times.

Leipzig made it clear that they did not need to sell players, especially after Shezko moved to Manchester United for €90 million. So they priced Simmons for 70 million euros, the same price as Como for Nico Pas.

This deal will never be easy, especially with other teams interested in it. Chelsea have reached a personal deal with Simmons, but they will only take action after Jackson or Nkunku leave, with the latter transfer to Germany being a possible option. Before that, Chelsea's competition still existed.

In addition, they have an alternative: Lukeman of Atlanta. The British-born but playing for Nigeria is looking for a new partner after a failed transfer to Inter Milan, an additional option.

Tottenham's transfer market operations are gradually turning into a comedy, and the joy originally brought about by Romero's contract renewal has disappeared. First of all, because Eze: After more than three weeks of negotiations, Arsenal intercepted the bell at the last minute. Secondly, it was because Savignho: they were ready to sign him at all costs, but Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano eventually blocked the transfer, and they thought the players would agree to join.
