However, Chelsea has yet to make an official offer to RB Leipzig, and the deal depends on the sale of Christopher Nkunku. This delay has given Tottenham an opportunity to make a move and discuss the conditions for a bid with the German club.
Tottenham is eager to add a new attacking midfielder to their squad this summer, having already missed out on other top targets like Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze. While Simons would still prefer a move to Chelsea, Spurs are hoping to take advantage of the delay and secure his signing.
