'Make the team his own'- New Tottenham signing backed to be a ‘sensation’ at N17 under Thomas Frank

Reports also suggested there was a buzz around Hotspur Way once Tottenham agreed a deal to sign the Dutchman. Spurs players were constantly asking the staff if the 22-year-old had walked through the doors at N17- a sign of how highly the ex-PSG star is rated by his new teammates.

Xavi Simons can take Tottenham to the next level in the long-run

Xavi Simons has quickly been thrown into the mix for Tottenham this season. The Dutchman is mainly being utilised on the left-flank by Thomas Frank in his first two games for the club, showcasing his versatility to operate anywhere in the attacking line. However, the 22-year-old has made it clear that he preferred position is as a #10, where his technical brilliance and creativity allow him to conjure chances from nothing.

Despite a slightly nervous but effective start to life at N17, there is a strong belief that Simons will prove to be a bargain for the Lilywhites in the long-run. As per Suleyman Ozturk (via Voetbal International),

“There’s a lot of creativity there, and I think that once that comes out in a few weeks, he’s going to be a sensation at Tottenham. He should enjoy that, because it means he’s taking the next step. And he has a number of players at Tottenham with whom he can combine well. I think he really has a great environment now with Tottenham.”

The reliable journalist added,

“A team where you don’t have to finish first or second but can finish third or fourth. And a manager who is very human. And that’s a combination. But the Premier League is another level altogether, and I think he’ll quickly make that team his own and then think, wow, that’s nice at that age.”

Suleyman Ozturk backs Xavi Simons to be a ‘sensation’ at Tottenham once the talented forward settles in at N17. The reliable journalist backs the Dutchman to combine well with his teammates and endure a fantastic career at Hotspur Way. Simons will also benefit from a less intense spotlight than he might face at a title-challenging club. Ozturk also suggests that the 22-year-old will quickly become the face of the project at Spurs once he gets used to the Premier League.

All eyes will now be on the Spurs No.7 as he aims to make his own mark at the North London club. The fans will hope that he can become a vital part of Thomas Frank’s setup and lead Spurs to new heights in the coming years. With the club aiming for on-field success under a new hierarchy, Simons will have a great chance of proving his worth at Hotspur Way.
