The 22-year-old\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs fans were quick to notice that the posts removed specifically included content related to Tottenham \u2014 images from his debut, matchday posts, and club-related content have all vanished from his profile, which is visible but now entirely empty.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 \ud835\uddd5\ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd4\ud835\uddde\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddda: Xavi Simons has deleted every single post from his Instagram. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z7kA8Vtk3Q\">pic.twitter.com\/z7kA8Vtk3Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Touchline | \ud835\udc13 (@TouchlineX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TouchlineX\/status\/2048492051205931513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>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 \u00a351.8 million on a five-year contract, making him the club\u2019s marquee summer signing \u2014 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 \u20ac30 million \u2014 a staggering discount on what was paid just twelve months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Simons has not been poor by any means. He has six goals and seven assists across 42 appearances this season, but the team\u2019s collective struggles have prevented him from truly expressing himself. His pedigree \u2014 La Masia, PSG, PSV, Leipzig \u2014 suggests a player built for European football, not Championship mud.<\/p>\n<h2>What does it mean?<\/h2>\n<p>Social media wipes in football almost never mean nothing. Players have their posts managed carefully, and a full deletion \u2014 not a private account, not a hiatus \u2014 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\u2019 Instagram page very closely right now, even if there is nothing left to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xavi Simons has wiped his entire Instagram account \u2014 removing every single post.
