Spurs Web, a Tottenham media outlet, noted on the 6th (Korea time) that Tottenham received Werner's help in recruiting Xavi Simmons. The media reported that despite Chelsea's interest, Simon's decision to move to Tottenham was an important conversation with Werner.
The signing of Simmons was the most unconventional deal Tottenham have ever made this summer. Simmons, who decided to leave RB Leipzig, was persuaded by Chelsea. In personal terms, the agreement was reached early. If Chelsea and RB Leipzig agree on a transfer fee, Simmons could wear a Chelsea uniform.
However, Chelsea did not intend to pay RB Leipzig the amount they wanted, and negotiations between the two sides dragged on. Tottenham, which lost Eberechi Eze to Arsenal at the end of the transfer window, began to persuade Simmons. Simmons fell for Tottenham's active persuasion, and Tottenham, unlike Chelsea, coolly met the conditions RB Leipzig wanted.

According to Spursweb, Simmons told German media outlet Leipziger Polks Zeitung "Werner told me a lot about the club's greatness and fantastic fans. He told me that he thought it was the best place for me to learn and develop. I thank Werner for this," he confessed.
The media reported 'Chelsea showed strong interest in Simmons, but Tottenham moved quickly to avoid missing out on another goal after a setback early in the summer. Werner's encouragement after spending 18 months on loan at Tottenham gave Simmons confidence that Tottenham was the right environment.
In fact, Werner is a difficult player to make a good impression on Tottenham. Werner, who joined Tottenham on loan through the 2024 winter transfer window, appeared to be reviving as he scored two goals and four assists in 13 league games over a half-season period.

In the second half, Werner only played eight minutes in the league. In the cup competition, Werner has become a difficult player to even see after his poor performance against the fifth-division club. Coach Postecoglou, who doesn't trust him, and Werner, who will likely feel bad about Tottenham, played a decisive role in Tottenham's recruitment of Simmons.
