Tottenham officially announced the signing of Simmons on the club's website on the 30th of last month (Korea Standard Time), saying, `We announce that we have recruited Simmons from RB Leipzig.' Simmons signed a contract with Tottenham until 2030 and is understood to have a clause that allows him to extend his contract for another two years. Tottenham announced the birth of a new ace by giving Simmons the number seven, which created a gap when Son Heung-min left.
Simmons was confident that he could succeed Son Heung-min as Tottenham's proud No. 7. He said "Everyone loves Son Heung-min, and I know the responsibility of this number. I am ready to take on that responsibility. Now I'm going to write my own story," he said in an interview with Tottenham.
Over the past decade, Son has been loved not only by Tottenham fans but also by other teams. It was not only because of his ability in the stadium but also because of his personality and character outside the stadium. It was possible because he was not a non-manner player and was always humble.

One episode took place at the Leipzig training ground. The media reported 'A few days before the home game against Bayern Munich in May this year, a fire alarm went off at the Leipzig training site and more than 300 employees were evacuated. Fire engines were dispatched, but the cause was Simmons. The hair spray sprayed by the hairdresser he called to fix his hairstyle triggered the fire alarm. It's not Simmons' fault, but the act of calling a hairdresser to the training site itself is unusual.
Simmons' journey has not changed abroad. Sport Bild said 'During his tour in Brazil in May, his travel agency suggested two locations, but Simmons made a different plan. He directed the bus to Pavela, or the favela. It was because there was a party in the evening. However, this was the situation when they arrived in a dangerous area outside Sao Paulo. Only the club's security personnel got off the bus and immediately stopped the situation. Fellow players told Simmons that they were very clear about the situation at the time.

Until the end, Simmons acted his way. There was a group fitting schedule for uniform sponsor AlphaTauri ahead of the season opening, but it was revealed that he refused to attend, saying he would leave Leipzig before the season opening.
He is still a immature Simmons, completely different from Son Heung-min, who has a reputation for outstanding fan service.
