LONDON :Tottenham Hotspur have signed Netherlands attacking midfielder Xavi Simons from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig on a long-term contract, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Financial details were not disclosed but British media reported that Spurs agreed to pay 60 million euros ($70.24 million) for the 22-year-old who has been capped 28 times.

"I'm really pleased we have brought Xavi in, he is a great addition to the squad," Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said in a club statement.

"Xavi has proven his ability to get goals and assists, both from the number 10 position and left wing. He also has a great eye for his teammates in terms of unlocking defences and I know he will come in and be part of a good team that is already working hard together."
