Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I absolutely love our transfer policy of signing some of Europe’s brightest prospects and young starlets. I think Tel will be great for us, just you naysayers wait. And I would love it if we signed Xavi Simons. I think that is a real statement signing
 
Outperforming your XG says you're not wasteful, no?
That and that you're taking low percentage chances fairly frequently.

I think that's where the question mark over him lies, whether he's able to sustain that or if he reverts back to the norm.

In fairness though, if he's playing for a team that has a higher productivity in the final third, if he were to revert to the norm and actually match his xG, it's not unreasonable to expect him to have a decent goal return regardless.

It's a difficult one for the likes of us to call, as we don't really have access to the metrics that the clubs analysts do. We can only hope that, if we were to get him, it's because what they're seeing points in the direction of him consistently keeping high numbers and matching/exceeding them.
