Tottenham Hotspur are pursuing reinforcements after winning their opening two Premier League matches under Thomas Frank. Injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min's departure to MLS have left Spurs seeking a number 10, a left winger and another defender. Recent transfer attempts have faltered: Morgan Gibbs-White remained at Nottingham Forest, Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze, and Arsenal are likely to secure Piero Hincapie. Tottenham have targeted Xavi Simons and are reportedly in the frame as Chelsea were close to a verbal agreement, with reported fees varying between around €60m and €95m.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a major hijack to stun their London rivals and potentially obliterate their own transfer record in the process. The Lilywhites have begun life under Thomas Frank extremely well, winning their opening two fixtures in the Premier League and looking impressive under their new manager's style of play. But with several transfer disappointments in recent weeks, there's a consensus that Tottenham still need more depth which could come at the expense of rivals.
Tottenham do, however, have the chance to perform a transfer hijack of their own, with BILD in Germany reporting that the Europa League winners have entered the frame for Xavi Simons. Last month, Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Simons was close to a verbal agreement with Chelsea with Spanish outlet Fichajes claiming that the fee would be around 95 million.
