Xavi Simons has wiped his entire Instagram account — removing every single post. The 22-year-old’s digital purge comes at one of the most turbulent moments of his short time at Tottenham Hotspur, and supporters and pundits alike are reading between the lines.

Spurs fans were quick to notice that the posts removed specifically included content related to Tottenham — images from his debut, matchday posts, and club-related content have all vanished from his profile, which is visible but now entirely empty.

Context matters enormously here. Tottenham are currently sitting in the relegation zone with the season in its final weeks. Simons joined last August for a fee of around £51.8 million on a five-year contract, making him the club’s marquee summer signing — a statement of ambition that now looks increasingly fragile. Reports have suggested that if Spurs are relegated, the Dutchman could be available for as little as €30 million — a staggering discount on what was paid just twelve months ago.

Simons has not been poor by any means. He has six goals and seven assists across 42 appearances this season, but the team’s collective struggles have prevented him from truly expressing himself. His pedigree — La Masia, PSG, PSV, Leipzig — suggests a player built for European football, not Championship mud.

What does it mean?

Social media wipes in football almost never mean nothing. Players have their posts managed carefully, and a full deletion — not a private account, not a hiatus — carries weight. Whether this signals an agent-orchestrated transfer push, a personal decision to reset, or simply frustration at how the season has unravelled, one thing is certain: the football world is watching Xavi Simons’ Instagram page very closely right now, even if there is nothing left to see.
