The former PSG man joined the North Londoners of RB Leipzig on a deal worth around \u00a351 million. He has signed a long-term contract and will wear a No. 7 shirt at his new club.<\/p>\n<p>Simons was originally a target for Chelsea, but Tottenham quickly made a landing ahead of his 22-year-old city rival. The move represents a major coup for Thomas Frank. Thomas Frank hopes that the Dutch will have an immediate impact. Given that Leipzig needs to sign an alternative, it could also affect the end of Liverpool&#8217;s window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>According to The Times, they are interested in Harvey Elliott and are &#8220;in direct contact&#8221; with Reds to discuss the deal. Elliott was used sparingly by Arne Slot last season, which means he is linked to the Anfield exit throughout the window.<\/p>\n<p>Things like Fulham and Newcastle were linked in the first half of the window, but Leipzig appears to be the main candidate now. However, there is no guarantee that Liverpool is open to selling 22-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, it was reported that bids would be rejected unless the Reds were allowed to make a big profit. They paid just \u00a34 million to sign Elliot as a teenager at Fulham in 2019 following a court hearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Liverpool is said to believe his value is far above the current market rate, given the recent relocations of Tyler, Jacob Ramsey, Newcastle United and Omali Hutchinson to Everton.<\/p>\n<p>All three players moved in total between \u00a337 million and \u00a342 million. This suggests that Leipzig should file a high offer on Elliott&#8217;s land before the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Only time can tell how the situation will occur between the end of the window in the future. This is scheduled to close on Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Former England striker Jermaine Defoe recently urged Elliott to join a club where he can become a main man, not a Bitpart player for Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;There are a lot of clubs watching this tournament,&#8221; Defoe said after Elliott won a under-21 brace against the Netherlands this summer in the Euro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We said before, he&#8217;s too good not to play when you play against the best players in such a big tournament. The two goals we saw tonight are he&#8217;s the top top player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For him, he needs to go out and play, get on a team where he is one of his main players, go out and express himself and show how good you are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the latest broken stories and headlines, sign up for the Daily Express Transfer Newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2102109\/Xavi-Simons-Tottenham-Liverpool-transfer\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Zabi Simons completes his move to Tottenham, Liverpool could return to action on the last day of the window.
