Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man United showing interest?
Manchester United could consider making a summer move for Simons, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
Simons suffered an ACL injury and will not only miss the rest of the season and the 2026 World Cup, but he's not expected to play until the second half of the 2026/27 season. Thus, the timing of a potential Tottenham departure looks a bit off, although Simons would definitely leave the club if the Spurs get relegated. If Simons is open to leaving Spurs in the summer for whatever reason might be, expect Manchester United to make a move for the playmaker.
