Xavi Simons has had a mediocre debut season with Tottenham Hotspur, and they are prepared to sell him for €27 million. The London club paid around £65 million to sign the player at the start of the season, and it would be a huge surprise if they allowed him to leave the club despite his desire to leave.
Despite the mediocre season, he is a tremendous talent with a bright future and could develop into a star for the club. Tottenham already need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and selling the Netherlands International would be a mistake.
According to a report from Fichajes, they are prepared to sign Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid for €25 million. Therefore, they are looking to make way for the Moroccan, and they would sell Simons in the summer.
This has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they are fighting for survival in the Premier League. They are not yet guaranteed safety in the top flight, and they will need to ensure they are competing in the Premier League next season to attract quality players.
Meanwhile, Simons recently suffered a serious injury and will be sidelined for several months. It remains to be seen whether any club is prepared to take a gamble on him in the summer. It will be difficult for Tottenham to get rid of the player because of his injury problem.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. It is unlikely that there would be any shortage of clubs looking to sign the Netherlands international under normal circumstances.
Simons has 13 goal contributions this season, and he could improve next season. He is still adapting to English football, and Tottenham are struggling as a team. They will need to be patient with him and allow him to rediscover his form and confidence after his injury. Tottenham need to keep the key players at the club, and bring in quality additions in the summer. If they can add a reliable goal scorer, it could certainly help get the best out of players like Simons.
