This makes him a seriously attractive option.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s now a little closer to his home, and Eze will be available for around \u00a368 million thanks to the release clause in his contract.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot of money, but he&#8217;s certainly worth it. In this semester 42 appearance, the British scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists.<\/p>\n<p>But there is another young and exciting international advertised for its move to the white side of North London: Xavi Simons.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, according to a recent report from Spain, the Spurs &#8220;dream to sign&#8221; the RB Leipzig star, with the Lily White people believe they can &#8220;convince&#8221; them to join them.<\/p>\n<p>However, he is around 80 million euros, about 67 million pounds, and has many other stakeholders. An report earlier this week claims that Arsenal is keen on the Dutch.<\/p>\n<p>Overcoming the line is a complicated and expensive move, but given Simons&#8217; immense ability and potential, even bad news for Madison is worth fighting for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-simons-compares-to-maddison\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Simons_compares_to_Madison\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>How Simons compares to Madison<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now Simons is a versatile attacker who can play in either wing, but he can also play as an offensive midfielder. Brennan Johnson scores as many goals as he did this season and may remain with the club in the summer, Masis may be looking at Leipzig Ace, primarily as a 10 number.<\/p>\n<p>So one of his main competitors for game time next season is Madison, but who will be on top when we compare them?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when it comes to their raw output, which is ultimately the most important indicator of all, the former Paris Saint-Germain gem comes up above.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Flying Dutchman, whom one analyst called &#8220;one of the best teens in the world,&#8221; scored 21 goals and provided 23 assists in just 76 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, since joining the club prior to last season, Lily White No. 10 has scored 16 goals and provided 21 assists in 75 appearances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Simons vs Madison<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>23\/24<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Simon&#8217;s<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Madison<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>exterior<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>43<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>30<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>the goal<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>15<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Involvement of goals for each match<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.58<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.46<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>24\/25<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Simon&#8217;s<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Madison<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>exterior<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>33<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>45<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>the goal<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Involvement of goals for each match<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.57<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.51<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>All statistics through the transfer market<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Plus, the Amsterdam-born &#8220;superstar,&#8221; dubbed by analyst Ben Matinson, is also more productive than the former Leicester City star, and has also been in his junior for six years.<\/p>\n<p>For example, he had one injury in his previous career, but missed 15 games for the club and country, while the British had 18 injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Madison is a great player, but Simons is clearly superior, so he should do what he can to sign him this summer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"7afd-4aa3-8af3a3161822\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"w-img \"><\/div>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spurs_%E2%80%9CThe_18-year-old_%E2%80%9Cmonster%E2%80%9D_will_be_better_than_Romero_and_Van_de_Ben\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tSpurs: &#8220;The 18-year-old &#8220;monster&#8221; will be better than Romero and Van de Ben<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">A very exciting young man can be something special for the Spurs. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What could have fallen as the worst season of the Tottenham Hotspur generation is now recognized as one of the best.
