Xavi Simons
22-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
Completes Spurs move
Simons has completed a permanent transfer from RB Leipzig to Tottenham on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Simons had been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, and while Chelsea had shown interest in his services, the Dutchman ultimately joined Tottenham on a long-term contract. He should be a regular starter and key piece in midfield for the Spurs, as his creativity and elite passing will complement an attacking line featuring agile, pacey wingers such as Mohammed Kudus and Brennan Johnson, as well as either Dominic Solanke or Richardson upfront. Simons should have above-average fantasy value as a playmaker who is often on the ball, giving him a solid floor in most formats due to his consistent involvement. He finished the 2024/25 season with 11 goals and 10 assists across 31 appearances (30 starts) for Leipzig between the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs launch bid
Tottenham have launched a bid for Simons, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham have been pursuing a new signing in the attacking third for quite some time, and they're going to make one final effort to acquire Simons. The Dutchman won't play for RB Leipzig this weekend since he's being heavily linked with a move away from the club, and it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up in a Premier League club before the market closes on Sep. 1.
