With Eze and Morgan Gibbs White missing out on epic ways, Simons&#8217; arrival brings the quality and versatility that their attacks are screaming.<\/p>\n<p>At just 22 years old, Simons is considered one of Europe&#8217;s brightest young talents. He can operate out of width as an offensive midfielder and even drift between the lines.<\/p>\n<p>    Most importantly, he gives Lily White an additional option as James Madison gets injured, Dejan Krucevsky gets injured and his son Heungmin goes to MLS.<\/p>\n<p>The former PSG sensation, also a product of Barcelona&#8217;s famous Ramasia Academy, has been impressed with Leipzig in the Bundesliga since 2023 and will have the opportunity to showcase his sky potential in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Simons scored 11 goals and more than 33 appearances last season despite lacking a seasonal mass due to ankle ligament injuries.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tottenham-make-quot-surprise-offer-quot-for-man-city-defender-manuel-akanji\">\n                        <strong>Tottenham makes a &#8220;surprise offer&#8221; for Man City defender Manuel Akangee<\/strong><br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>After completing his deal with Dutch International, one of Levy&#8217;s next business orders is to sign a new defender.<\/p>\n<p>    Tottenham has seen the centre-back as Radu Dragusin still has ACL issues.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss ace has been on his contract for two years and has not played a minute for City this season.
