Sky Sports, the BBC and the Times and other British media reported that Tottenham Hotspur was close to signing Leipzig player Simmons for £51 million.
After reaching a £51 million transfer fee with Leipzig, Tottenham has now negotiated personal terms with Simmons, thanks to the good relationship between Tottenham and Leipzig.
Tottenham will be the priority of introducing No. 10 players, and Simmons can be competent for multiple positions such as No. 8, winger and pseudo-9.
Although Chelsea are still interested in Simmons, they may lose the battle, and they are about to sign Garnacho for £40 million.
