A Tottenham Hotspur summer signing could already be facing an uncertain future at the club, with fresh reports suggesting his time in north London may be far shorter than expected.
If Tottenham Hotspur lose their fight to avoid relegation this season, there could very much be a mass exodus during the summer transfer window.
Reports in recent weeks have linked several Spurs stars with moves away from the club.
Guglielmo Vicario has been linked with Inter Milan, Dominic Solanke is attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League, while Richarlison’s future remains uncertain.
Of course, it will be unsustainable to keep up with the wages of several Tottenham players in the Championship. While pay cuts for Spurs stars are an option, it remains to be seen how many will remain in north London.
Tottenham transfer news: Xavi Simons linked with possible summer exit
Nicolo Schira has now revealed that another Tottenham player could well be heading out the door this summer.
According to the journalist, it is believed that Xavi Simons could leave the club during the summer transfer window.
Spurs only secured the services of the Dutchman last summer and had to fend off interest from Chelsea to land the 22-year-old.
Simons, however, has struggled to make a major impact in north London as he continues to adapt to the Premier League, but that journey with Tottenham could come to an end should the worst happen.
