Xavi Simons has sealed a move from RB Leipzig to Tottenham, but his off-the-pitch reputation in Germany will surely spark concern among his new teammates.
Xavi Simons may have landed his dream Premier League move, but in Germany, his reputation has taken a hit as stories about his controversial spell at RB Leipzig surface.The Dutch international sealed a late-window transfer from Leipzig to Tottenham Hotspur, having been heavily linked with Chelsea earlier in the summer.
“I’m incredibly happy with this move and can’t wait to get started,” Simons said on arrival in London.
But while Spurs fans look forward to seeing him in action, German outlet Bild has painted a less flattering picture of the 21-year-old’s behaviour during his time in Leipzig—where he reportedly earned the nickname “Princess” from his teammates.

Gambia Coach Johnathan McKinstry on 2 Reasons Kasarani Stadium Holds Special Place in His Heart
Johnathan McKinstry, who used to coach Gor Mahia up until 2024, has explained why Kasarani Stadium is special to his heart ahead of their clash against Harambee Stars.
According to Bild, Simons once left his dog unattended on a roof terrace in Leipzig while away on international duty with the Netherlands. Neighbours considered calling animal protection or the police before the club intervened. The player was said to have been so distressed by the incident that he broke down in tears.
Dog Drama and Dressing Room Tensions
Other odd episodes included setting off the fire alarm at Leipzig’s training ground after his hairdresser used too much hairspray, and attempting to steer the team bus into São Paulo’s dangerous favelas during a trip to Brazil—something stopped only by club security.

Manchester United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup 12-11 on penalties to Grimsby Town, who were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player during the game - Kenyan international Clarke Oduor.
Inside the dressing room, frustrations grew as Leipzig’s season faltered. Players reportedly began calling Simons “Princess” due to his complaints and visible discontent, particularly as the team missed out on European football by finishing seventh in the Bundesliga.
The summer brought further friction when Simons allegedly berated the club’s sporting director, a move seen as proof that his time in Leipzig was coming to an end. He ultimately said farewell to teammates only via a short WhatsApp message.
A Messy Goodbye
For Tottenham, though, the story is different. Simons will get the Champions League football he craved, while Leipzig are rid of a player they saw as disruptive.
Whether the “Princess” tag follows him to England remains to be seen.
