"Tottenham Hotspur may have found their answer to Xavi Simons' struggles at Real Madrid. Spurs signed the Dutchman ranked at no.8 in FourFourTwo's list of the best attacking midfielders in the world right now from RB Leipzig in the summer for 52m. While the 22-year-old has shown promise, and linked attacks neatly in games, his top-line stats two assists and no goals in 14 outings is not the return anyone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would have been hoping for."
"In that search, they have landed on Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, according to a report from Fichajes. The Brazilian has fallen out of favour in the Spanish capital, starting just two of Los Blancos' first 12 La Liga games, and just once in the Champions League. Based on the report from the Spanish outlet, a deal is there to be done for around 80m, which is believed to be of interest to Spurs."
Tottenham Hotspur signed Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig for £52m and he was ranked No.8 in FourFourTwo's list of attacking midfielders. The 22-year-old has provided two assists but no goals in 14 appearances and has sometimes looked isolated in attack. Tottenham are pursuing players who could complement Simons rather than replace him. Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has fallen out of favour and started only a handful of games. A deal for Rodrygo is cited at around £80m. Rodrygo can play across the front three and could support Simons and James Maddison when available.
