Tottenham Hotspur, who has been hijacked by North London rival Eberich Eze (Arnall), is aiming to hijack the target of Chelsea, the same London club.
On the 28th (local time), the British daily `Daily Mail" left Leipzig for London to negotiate a transfer fee of up to 60 million pounds (about 112 billion won). Simmons received Chelsea's attention in the early stages of the transfer window, but London rivals Tottenham were ahead in their bid to sign him, according to reports on Simmons' move to Tottenham.
Citing a report from Germany 'Bild', Leipzig said on the 31st that they had conducted training without Simmons ahead of Germany's Bundesliga match against Heidenheim. Simmons will be away from the team for some time to discuss a transfer, 'Built' said. The Daily Mail said 'Tottenham had not yet made an official offer, but had early-stage discussions with Leipzig about a possible transfer.

Simmons, the Netherlands' national attacking midfielder, is reportedly seeking to leave Leipzig this summer and advance to a big club. Tottenham is in desperate need of a creative midfielder as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are expected to be absent for a long time due to injuries. Tottenham previously failed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest and Eze of Crystal Palace.
Reporter Florian Plattenberg from Germany handed over an official proposal to recruit Simmons. The transfer fee is close to 70 million euros (about 113 billion won) demanded by Leipzig. Chelsea have not made an offer yet" he said.
"Daily Mail" means "Simmons is in line with the player award Tottenham wants." He is young and has endless potential. Simmons' energetic style suits Tottenham manager Thomas Frank's football, he said. 'If Simmons joins, it will be a great addition to the team.

Simmons is from Barcelona Youth and moved to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the age of 16. Simmons, who failed to establish himself in the PSG professional team, moved to PSV Eindhoven in 2022 and exploded his potential with 19 Eredivisie goals in the 2022-2023 season. He returned to Paris for the first time in a year due to the buyback clause, but immediately left for Leipzig on an 18-month loan, and in January 2025, he transferred to a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 80.8 billion won).
Simmons said he would leave Leipzig after completing the 2024-2025 season. At a time when the transfer market was in full swing, there was no suitable buyer. It was considered likely to remain, but a last-minute variable occurred. Since the opening of this season, Simmons has scored one goal in two games, including the Cup.
If Simmons joins Tottenham, it is highly likely that Tottenham's former captain Son Heung-min (LAFC) will sign the number 7 left behind. Simmons wears the number 10 matching his role in his current team Leipzig, but he will wear the number 7 jersey for the Dutch national team. During Eindhoven, he also played with No. 7.
Meanwhile, Tottenham won Burnley (3-0) and Manchester City (2-0) in the English Premier League (EPL) and won two consecutive games.
