Tottenham finally did it. Son Heung-min is close to recruiting a successor.

The BBC reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is on the verge of signing Xavi Simmons (Lewich) for 60 million euros (£51.8 million). He reportedly even completed a medical test.

Tottenham had a big change ahead of the new season. Thomas Frank has been appointed as head coach. Son Heung-min has moved to LA FC (USA). Tottenham completely acquired Kevin Danso and Matistel through the summer transfer window. Mohamed Kudus, Luka Vuskovic and Takai Kota also joined. João Palinha was also hired on loan. However, he lost to Arsenal in the recruitment of Eberechi Eze, which was considered Son's replacement. Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham) was disgraced in his bid for the club. Attempts to recruit Savinho (Man City) are also sluggish.

BBC said 'Simmons has received a lot of team attention in the transfer market this summer. He is expected to join Tottenham soon. Frank used tactics such as 5-3-2, 4-3-3. Simmons is likely to run on the left flank and dig in. He mainly played as a left-sided striker in the German Bundesliga last season. Depending on the situation, it can also attack from the center or right side.

The media reported 'Simmons scored 11 goals and 8 assists for Leipzig last season despite an ankle injury. Of particular interest to Frank is the creation of opportunities. Simmons put more than seven passes in the box per game in the 2024-2025 season. It created 2.2 chances on average for 90 minutes. All of these are higher than Eze, Gibbs-White.

Simmons, born in 2003, is a former FC Barcelona youth player who joined Leipzig through Paris Saint-Germain (France) and Eindhoven (the Netherlands). He scored 22 goals-24 assists in 78 games for Leipzig. He also played 28 A matches for the Dutch national football team.
