  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    As first reported by David Ornstein, Simons has completed his Tottenham medical ahead of completing a move to north London. Spurs have moved quickly to secure the signature of the Netherlands international, who had previously agreed terms with Chelsea. Having seen Willian move to Stamford Bridge after undergoing a medical at Tottenham back in 2013, Thomas Frank's side are understandably eager to get this deal over the line.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Spurs have missed out on both Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze this summer but Simons is poised to complete the formalities of his move. The club's move has materialised swiftly, with a bid first being tabled on Thursday. He will likely slot straight into the No.10 position in Frank's starting XI, as James Maddison is nursing an ACL injury sustained in pre-season. 

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Simons made a total of 78 appearances for Leipzig, scoring 22 goals and registering 24 assists. The 22-year-old is also a Netherlands international with 28 caps under his belt.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Spurs have been burned before this summer but it appears they are poised to finally secure the No.10 they have been chasing for the last few weeks. If registered before midday on Friday, he could even make his Premier League debut this weekend at home to Bournemouth.
