Fans will be buzzing to see one game changer player start against West Ham

In the clip, we see precisely how the land lies with respect to Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank.

Here, Matt Wells (the only Tottenham coach on his watch not to follow him to Nottingham Forest, is guiding with precisely the encouragement our attacking players need.

How good is Xavi Simons, though?

The answer to that question is best explained with the aid of some data. Snapped up for €60 million from RB Leipzig (following a prior stint with PSG), signalling his arrival as a key player in one of Europe’s top leagues. His move to Spurs under manager Thomas Frank positions him well for further growth, given Frank’s track record of developing attacking talents.

Simons is widely regarded as one of the best young midfielders in Europe, with comparisons to players like Florian Wirtz for his intensity and ball-carrying ability. Analysts praise his ability to operate in tight spaces, burst forward on counters, and deliver precise through balls, making him a “game-changer” in transitions.

However, some critics note he hasn’t yet cemented a starring role at a top club like PSG, partly due to loan moves, and could take time to adapt to the Premier League’s physicality. Overall, his trajectory suggests he could become a world-class No. 10 or versatile forward in the coming years.

Xavi Simons is very good—bordering on elite for his age—with the tools to thrive at Spurs and potentially win major trophies. If he adapts quickly, expect 10+ goals/assists in his debut Premier League season. His combination of flair, intelligence, and athleticism makes him a modern standout.

Frank, work your magic!
