Xavi Simmons hints at big-man Sabinho to Tottenham
The excitement started when the 23-year-old Dutch international shared a nostalgic story on Instagram.
Simmons posted a throwback photo of himself and Sabinho sharing a moment on the pitch during their time together at Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven during the 2022-23 season.
This post could easily be dismissed as just a trip down memory lane between two old team-mates, but the perfect timing was not lost on the Tottenham faithful.
Sabinho’s transfer approaches after receiving De Zerbi’s approval
The social media teaser dovetails seamlessly with reports from prominent transfer sources confirming that Tottenham’s negotiations to sign the Brazilian winger are progressing incredibly well.
Newly-appointed manager Roberto De Zerbi was keen to give the green light for the club to prioritize the 22-year-old forward to spearhead a new-look, high-octane attacking system.
Tottenham’s reinforcements have shifted their “full focus” to signing Savinho from Manchester City, bypassing other alternatives such as Crisencio Somerville, according to club insider Paul O’Keeffe.
Savinho is an ideal tactical fit as manager De Zerbi is keen to field an explosive, fluid winger who can thrive in one-on-one situations.
Simmons, who arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a huge £51.8m deal last August, is clearly excited by the prospect of joining forces with his former partner in crime.
