Fabrizio Romano shared some Tottenham transfer news in what is a big boost for Thomas Frank, with President Daniel Levy adding to their short list of summer signatures before an imminent deadline.
Spurs only have four days to strengthen Frank’s team in the desired areas, while Levy tries to support the Danes before a very long and arduous campaign where the Lilywhites will be in competition on four fronts.
They took an excellent start of the new Premier League season, eliminating impressive victories against new arrivals Burnley and Man City heavy goods vehicles during the fortnight of the last fortnight, but injuries to key players partially prompted a late race for new recruits.
James Maddison is expected to miss a large part of 2025/2026 after having broken his LCA in pre-season, while Dejan Kuluski could go out until much later in the year when he continues to recover a knee problem.
Radu Dragusin also underwent an LCA injury in winter, and the international of Romania is still not ready for the selection.

Consequently, Tottenham has been on the market for a new central defender, number 10 and the winger in recent weeks, the son of the Heung-Min club by also waving an emotional farewell at the club earlier this month before joining the LAFC.
The Spurs were in talks to sign Savinho from Man City, but the Pep Guardiola team seems to have blocked the move despite the extreme eagerness of the Brazilian international to move south for more playing time.
Their search for a playmaker did not navigate either, with Levy missing both Ebelechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White in a spectacular and dramatic way this window alone.
However, according to reports, Tottenham’s mission to sign a new number 10 could now end.
In the last 48 hours, the Spurs began discussions on the diversion of the Chelsea agreement for RB Leipzig Sensation Xavi Simons, who was a former member of the famous Academy La Masia de Barcelona before moving on to the ranks of PSG young people.
The 22 -year -old dazzling player in Germany with Leipzig for two years, which has moved there permanent in January, but he is now ready to join the Lilywhites after successful discussions.
Xavi Simons signs the Tottenham contract after the agreement “overnight”
According to Romano, following an agreement “overnight”, Tottenham should sign Simons in an agreement worth 52 million pounds Sterling, his doctor already finished and the contracts are now written.
The Dutch international, who can also play on the left, will provide Frank with versatility, attacking a flair and a quality proven in the last third.
Despite a ligament injury on the ankle at the start of 24/25, Simons has always succeeded in 11 goals and eight assists on 33 appearances in all competitions, the expert in the Bundesliga, Kevin Hatchard, previously sharing exactly what Frank can expect from his last arrival.
“He scores goals, he makes goals, he always tries to affect the game. He is a real puzzle, Xavi, because I like to watch him play. I like what he brings to a game. He has really silky skills,” said Hatchard.
“The debate in Germany was: is he a team player?” Does he have attitude problems? All this.
“Now it could be a speech on paper. It could be just a noise from the media, and it is simply not true, because there are coaches who speak for him. But there are also coaches who have alluded, he could be more a team player, his attitude could be different, etc.”
