Sabi Simmons' joining Tottenham was one of the highlights of Tottenham in the transfer market this summer. Simmons, who inherited No. 7, said he did not have Son in mind as a replacement for Son Heung-min.

At the end of the transfer window, Tottenham made reinforcing their attack a top priority, and Simmons' joining was certainly a good choice. Simmons played nearly two seasons in Leipzig, scoring 22 goals and 24 assists in 78 appearances. Tottenham are expected to use him as an attacking midfielder as a player who can play both a left winger and an attacking midfielder.

John Wenham, who mainly reports on Tottenham, praised Simmons' recruitment.

Wenham said "Simmons is an amazing recruit. 22 is the perfect age and already has a wealth of experience"I'm experienced, but still young. The heyday hasn't come yet."

Wenham also said "It's really hard to believe that Tottenham signed him a contract that could last until 2032. In fact, we can see all of his heyday. "The most urgent task Tottenham had to solve at the end of the transfer market was to secure Madison's replacement. It appears that Simmons has solved the problem by recruiting him.'

Simmons played a role in instilling creativity in his team last season. It is classified as a necessary player for Tottenham, whose creativity has decreased due to Madison's absence. Madison, the team's key playmaker, has been a huge influence on the team, but continued injuries have raised concerns. Tottenham will be able to relieve this anxiety through Simmons.
