Why Xavi Simons can become the Premier League’s best summer signing
Simons will be best known to fans of English football because of his wonderful curling strike in the 2024 Euros semi-final against England.
Younger fans will recognise Simons from the social media attention the young La Masia graduate received during his formative playing years.
Since moving to PSG, Simons’ career has taken a different route, plying his trade at PSV and then RB Leipzig, where the talented star operated on the down low away from constant media scrutiny.

| PSV | 27 | 34 |
| RB Leipzig | 35 | 57 |
Now Simons is back in the big time with Spurs, the Dutch international has all the skills to develop into one of the Premier League’s best forward thinking players.
Simons has an X-factor about him that can unlock Premier League defences and get Tottenham fans on the edge of their seat whenever he picks up the ball.
The former Barcelona man glides with the ball at his feet, riding challenges with ease and combining great speed with fluid movement and adept technical skill.
If Frank can find a way to integrate Simons into his system, there’s no reason the Dutchman can’t be the fulcrum of this Spurs side for the foreseeable future.
