Xavi Simons is ready to make his mark at Tottenham and hit the ground running
Tottenham fans could not have asked for a better signing than Xavi Simons after the Lilywhites missed out Eberechi Eze earlier last week. The Netherlands international has been one of the best talents in Europe, producing consistently week in week out for his former team RB Leipzig. And it is fair to say that signing the 22-year-old on a long-term deal is a master stroke by the Lilywhites.
Simons instantly elevates the ceiling of the attack at N17 by providing a different dynamic to Thomas Frank’s team. The highly-rated attacker can either play as a left-winger, or as a #10 for the Danish tactician. But it is the wide areas where he tends to flourish more often than not and create havoc for opposition defenders.
The Spurs No.7 is looking to make his mark at N17 by proving his worth in the Premier League on a regular basis. However, the fans will have to wait to see their new signing don the Lilywhite jersey as the international break commences. As Tottenham look to build on the Europa League success this season, all eyes will be on Xavi Simons to play a vital part in helping the team compete on all four fronts under Thomas Frank.
