ESPN: Tottenham leads Simmons battle, Chelsea may turn to Felmin

August 28 ESPN reported that Tottenham leads the battle for Harvey Simmons, and the players have been allowed to go to London to finalize the transfer.

sources revealed that Tottenham took the lead in the battle after Harvey Simmons received permission to go to London to finalize his next transfer. Previously, Chelsea had been in the lead, but as of now, the Blues are still unwilling to meet Leipzig's valuation of players of 70 million euros.

sources also said that Tottenham had submitted a quote close to the amount, so Simmons went to London to determine where he would go. It is not clear whether Chelsea will take action to match Tottenham's offer, but their transfer operations are subject to UEFA's penalty clause - which requires that in order to register players in the Champions League this season, Chelsea must ensure that the transfer income and expenditure related to the European team last season achieves a surplus, which makes their recruitment work more complicated.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Tottenham hopes to sign at least two new players before Monday's transfer deadline. Previously, Tottenham lost in the competition between Gibbs White and Eze, and the team is currently focusing on strengthening the offensive end.

However, if Simmons can be successfully signed, it will be a major signing for Tottenham. The outside world generally believed that Simmons would join Chelsea. Sources pointed out that Simmons' arrival in London does not mean that he has reached a full transfer agreement with any club, but Tottenham is currently making the best progress in negotiations.

If Chelsea decides not to advance the introduction of Simmons, they may turn their target to Barcelona's Felmin, who has previously asked about the Spanish midfielder.
