Tottenham backed to pursue double raid of RB Leipzig this summer

Tottenham Hotspur are turning their attention to two of RB Leipzig’s star attackers as the Lilywhites aim to make a major splash this summer.

Tottenham are set to receive a huge financial windfall after their qualification for the Champions League and it has been revealed that Spurs are expected to make some big moves this summer.

It was reported by Fichajes a couple of days ago that Tottenham have identified Xavi Simons as one of their priority summer targets.

However, it turns out that he is not the only Leipzig man the North London club are eyeing, with the club also assessing a move for another one of the Bundesliga club’s star players.

Tottenham plotting double raid of RB Leipzig

ESPN have now backed up the rumours doing the rounds over the last few days by confirming that Tottenham are not just plotting a move for Simons, but also his teammate, Benjamin Sesko.

The report claims that the Lilywhites hold a keen interest in the centre-forward as well as an attacking midfielder but does not make it clear if they have made advances for either player.

This is not the first we have heard of Spurs’ interest in the Slovenian striker either, with TBR Football previously claiming that Tottenham are battling Liverpool and Chelsea for Sesko’s signature.

Tottenham is prepared to spend big on Xavi Simons

It has been reported over recent days that Spurs are not put off by Simons’ £67m price tag, with the Lilywhites extremely keen to land the 22-year-old.

Meanwhile, it has also been claimed that Simons is keen on making the move to the Premier League, thus handing the North Londoners a major boost.

However, given how highly rated the Dutchman is, one would expect the Spurs to face plenty of competition for the attacking midfielder this summer.
