Tottenham midfielder Xavi Simmons could be one of the players attracting significant transfer interest in the upcoming summer window.
The Dutch international could consider leaving Spurs at the end of the 2025/26 season, according to journalist Nicolò Sylla, as speculation increases over his future in north London.
Tottenham have had a turbulent season in the Premier League, with inconsistent performances and the club struggling to secure stability in the standings.
Such uncertainty has inevitably led to questions about the future of several key players, including Simmons.
Simmons is struggling to maintain consistency at Tottenham
Since joining Tottenham, Simmons has not been able to prove himself as much as he did in the Bundesliga.
The Dutchman has struggled to provide consistent performances for Spurs this season, which has been one of the reasons for Spurs’ poor form this season.
Simmons is most effective as an advanced playmaker, able to link the midfield and attack while creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
However, Tottenham’s overall instability this season has limited the team’s ability to make the most of his strengths.
Changes in management and tactical adjustments have also created an environment in which some players have reassessed their long-term prospects at the club.
Relegation could have serious consequences for Spurs
If Tottenham cannot survive the decline, a mass exodus is virtually guaranteed. Spurs currently sit just one point above the bottom three teams.
Simmons is said to be the club’s highest earner, earning an estimated £195,000 a week, an amount that is simply unsustainable in the Championship.
His current contract runs until 2030, but Europe’s elite clubs are already monitoring the situation closely.
After all, Simmons’ immediate future is completely intertwined with Tottenham’s desperate fight for survival over the next two months.
If Igor Tudor is unable to right the ship soon and Spurs suffer the unthinkable humiliation of relegation, the young playmaker’s Premier League adventure is likely to end before he can really find his footing.
