Leipzig has sold Xavi Simons to Tottenham officially...

They signed him for 50 million euros in the past. And now they have sold him for 65 million. Still a profitable deal in the end.

But of course they have lost an important member of the squad in the meantime.

I wonder with whom they are planning to fill his place now. They had better sign a good talent. The season hasn't started well for them at all.

When I thought they will try to actually keep some of their players they continue selling. Seriously Xavi Simon didn’t leaving isn’t a surprise because the player has actually made it clear that he wants to leave the only surprise was that I thought he was heading to west London side Chelsea instead of the north London rivals Tottenham. But it is still a very good deal for the player who will be playing in the champions league. But for Leipzig this do another top player leaving again. Personally I feel like they should have found replacements for him even before his exit was confirmed.

They now have just two days left to complete the some signings I think the scouts might have had players they had already been scouting for this positions they just need to move fast. It might look like desperation but they seriously need to do it because of the situation they are in. They started the season poorly with a six goal deficit already and needed to do more better to finish in the champions league places this season.
