Tottenham supporters have taken a strong stance on a recent Xavi Simons transfer update.

The Lilywhites have been linked with RB Leipzig star Simons this summer.

It follows an injury-ridden season for James Maddison, with Spurs perhaps looking to add some depth in this area of the pitch.

However, fans are now all saying the same thing after a fresh update on Spurs' pursuit of Simons.

Tottenham have enquired about Simons

As reported by Ben Jacobs via GIVEMESPORT (19 June), Tottenham have enquired to understand Simons' position and the price for a potential deal.

While nothing is advanced at this point, an agreement could be struck later in the transfer window.

However, under a recent post by The Spurs Express via X (19 June), Tottenham fans expressed doubts that this transfer will actually happen.

Would be obviously the most outrageous signing but never gonna happen

Nothing will happen later in the window let’s be real for once and focus on Mbeumo deal for now and probably push for Eze

We’ve enquired about everyone at this point

This has got Dybala written all over it
— Jack (@jcollinsthfc) June 19, 2025

Are there any signings we’re looking to make during the beginning or middle of the window? Or all deadline day stuff as always

Tottenham should go all-out for Simons

Simons is known for his versatility and could replace Son Heung-min if the winger leaves this summer.

Indeed, while Simons favours a midfield role, the Dutchman is also comfortable playing out wide. On the flank, he offers a combination of technical ability and elite output, which would boost Spurs' frontline.

Even if Son remains in North London, Simons would be a useful addition for Spurs' UEFA Champions League campaign, as Tottenham will need squad depth if they want to fire on all cylinders next season.

Additionally, he could prove an important alternative to Maddison if the Englishman succumbs to injury once again. One of the biggest issues with Spurs last season was the lack of creativity once their midfield maestro was ruled out.

Simons could hugely help in that regard and has the potential to become a starter as the season unfolds.

While he is still young, he has more Champions League experience than most of Spurs' starters, which could prove invaluable. The real challenge would be helping him to adapt to the pace of the Premier League - but there is little doubt a player like him will soon find his footing.

Therefore, Tottenham should advance their pursuit of Simons before he is whisked away by another suitor.
