Tottenham is moving at the end of the transfer market.

Multiple media outlets including the British Telegraph said on the 27th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is in bidding negotiations to face Chelsea in the competition to recruit Xavi Simmons. Chelsea have also been considering signing Barcelona's Fermin López, which could open up an opportunity for Tottenham to get ahead in the race for Simmons, according to reports that Tottenham are attempting to hijack Simmons.

The media reported that `Tottenham has already been interested in Simmons for a long time and there is an optimistic prospect that he will be open to a move to Tottenham despite his interest in Chelsea. After failing to sign Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze, Tottenham are desperate to bring in at least one new attacking midfielder before the closing of the transfer window, explaining that Tottenham did not miss out on their hopes of signing Simmons.




Tottenham are seeking to recruit a winger who can replace Son Heung-min at the end of the transfer window and an attacking midfielder who can fill the gaps between James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. So far, Tottenham's recruitment of No. 10 has been very difficult.

Gibbs-White could have been recruited, but was withdrawn after Nottingham Forest considered legal action while suspecting Tottenham's illegal actions. Eze was completely intercepted by Arsenal with the table well set. Tottenham fans' anger reached its peak after they failed to recruit a big-name player twice.

Tottenham tried to recruit Argentine prospect Nico Paz after failing to recruit Eze, but Paz did not want to go to Tottenham because he is likely to return to Real Madrid. Now Tottenham are thinking of spinning to Simmons.

The difficulty of recruiting Simmons is not easy. This is because Simmons is already believed to have made up his mind to go to Chelsea. However, with Chelsea expected to proceed with signing Simmons only after clearing out the players on the release list, such as Christopher Nkunku and Nicola Jackson, Tottenham are willing to try hijacking.

For now, Tottenham are being cautious. The Telegraph reports that `Tottenham are concerned that they could be hijacked by Chelsea for offering Simmons an official bid. This is due to the precedent of losing to Arsenal in the competition for recruiting in the past. Tottenham explained: 'It's only likely that Chelsea will make an offer if they believe they can minimise the threat of intercepting Simmons and close the deal quickly'

The transfer fee is not expected to be a problem. The media reported that `Simmons wants to leave RB Leipzig this summer, and the German club values him at around £60 million (about KRW 112.9 billion). Tottenham were already willing to pay the same amount for Gibbs-White and Eze, noting that Tottenham could recruit Simmons financially.
