Xavi Simons Signs Long-Term Contract to Join Tottenham

Tottenham will announce Xavi Simons as their new signing. The Dutch midfielder has agreed to a contract until June 2030, with an option for two more years.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Simons, 22, completed his medical and agreed to personal terms with Tottenham following a €60 million move from RB Leipzig. The contract runs for seven years, with the club announcing the deal is fully signed and sealed. Simons traveled to London on Thursday to finish the transfer after Tottenham accelerated talks due to James Maddison’s injury. Maddison will miss most of the season after ACL surgery. The official announcement of Simons as a Tottenham player is expected later today, making him eligible, depending on registration timing, for the next Premier League match against Bournemouth. Reports confirm that Tottenham wants to sign Xavi Simons due to James Maddison’s serious injury.

TOTTENHAM’S SEASON SO FAR AND SIMONS’ IMPACT

Tottenham began the season under new head coach Thomas Frank with a strong 2-0 victory over Manchester City, after beating Burnley by 3-0, showing promise in the early weeks. However, Maddison’s injury left a gap in attacking midfield. Simons impressed at RB Leipzig last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 7 assists in 25 Bundesliga appearances. He will bring creativity and energy to a Spurs team looking to build on a positive start and push for a top-four finish. Spurs are currently top of the table, level on points with Liverpool and Arsenal, who play each other this weekend.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SPURS AND SIMONS

Tottenham’s next fixture is against Bournemouth on Saturday in the Premier League. Bournemouth are currently tenth, coming off a mixed start of one win and one loss. Simons’ arrival comes at a crucial time, as Tottenham look to stay close to the top while dealing with injury challenges. The club hopes the new signing will adapt quickly and boost their attack for the upcoming run of games, as they continue to fight for Champions League qualification. As reported, Tottenham Hotspur are close to making this significant signing.
