Spurs seek to recover Simons
Blues remain favorites for Dutchman
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham would have discussed with the RB Leipzig in order to submit an offer for the recruitment of Simons this summer, despite rumors of transfer from the Dutch international to Chelsea. Spurs are desperately looking to recruit a new playmaker before closing the transfer window next Monday, after missing Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze.
Simons wishes to leave the RB Leipzig this summer, its privileged destination being Chelsea. However, the blues will only be able to finalize his transfer if they separate from Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. For the moment, the discussions have stalled between the Bundesliga club and the Blues, and the Spurs wish to take advantage of the situation to seize the 22 -year -old.
Chelsea also kept Fermin Lopez (Barcelona) in his limited list of field environments in case Simons is not recruited this summer. Spurs, on the other hand, wish to ensure the position of the blues before presenting an official offer.
