Crazy how it ended.
Xavi Simons is now a Spurs player for a price of 60m€.
He wanted Chelsea for the entire session but it ended to Tottenham.
I guess Premier is always the premier and you are happy to join any team after all.
Chelsea are good when it comes to hijacking deals, I don't want to go into details, but I see their fans fuming over his decision to swing Tottenham Hotspur's way. He will be a great addition for them and I hope to see a quick start to life with them. Thomas Frank is a great developer of player, I'm sure Simons would be talked about positively by the media. Top 4 should be their set targets.
The player himself have always wanted Chelsea and even before now he sounded it clear to his club that he wants to move to the premier league this season and his preferred club is Chelsea, both the player and the club were waiting for an official bid from Chelsea but Chelsea didn’t make any bid for him yet, even though he was seen as a potential target by Chelsea , I think Chelsea right now is busy with outgoing players and wanted to sell some players in order to make room for new incoming players. The player waited for Chelsea to make a bid but no signal and Tottenham showed a concrete interest and made a good offer which the player and his club accepted considering the fact that the transfer window will soon be closed, so he have to move to start training and settling with his new club. Tottenham didn’t hijack the deal, it’s just that Chelsea never really showed a concrete interest and made a bid, and if Chelsea had made any bid, I think the player will choose Chelsea over Tottenham.
