We can confirm that Xavi Simons has ruptured the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The 23-year-old suffered the injury during the second half of our Premier League fixture at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Xavi will undergo surgery in the coming weeks and, following that, will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team. Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends Xavi our love and support - we will be with him every step of the way.

' Spurs plan to rip up the wage structure and invest in the squad if the club avoid relegation. ' Tottenham’s owners are planning to rip up the club’s rigid wage structure before a major overhaul of the squad this summer if the team avoid relegation. There is an acknowledgement at Spurs that the club have underinvested in player salaries for yearsTottenham’s wage bill is the lowest of the so-called “big six” clubs. It was £222m in the most recently published accounts for 2023-24, little more than half that of Manchester City’s £413m over the same period. Economies had to be made to pay back loans taken out to build the club’s £1bn stadium but the 2023-24 wage spend was 42% of revenue, very low by Premier League standards. A source close to the owners said the Lewis family recognised greater investment in salaries was needed because finishing positions in the league correlate more closely to wages than to transfer spending. Tottenham’s chief executive, Vinai Venkatesham, hinted last month that the club was ready to loosen the purse strings, a position reinforced by the struggles this season. Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to return in the summer, more than six years after his sacking. - TheGuardian #THFC #SPURS #COYS #TOTTENHAM
