Premier League club Tottenham are set to complete the signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, which means they will be able to focus on signing Super Eagles attacker Ademola Lookman before the transfer window closes on Monday.
Since Lookman's failed transfer to Inter Milan, Tottenham has emerged as a potential destination for the Super Eagles star over the last few days.
This is as they need to add some quality to their squad due to their involvement in the UEFA Champions League and the increased level of competition in the Premier League.
However, the foremost player on their list has been Dutch attacking midfielder Simons. But according to transfers expert David Ornstein, Spurs have finalized a deal for the 22-year-old.
With Simons' deal sorted, Tottenham now have time to look at other potential signings. And Lookman is next on their list.
