Xavi Simons has openly shared that adapting to the fast-paced nature of the Premier League is proving challenging. The young midfielder has yet to find his stride at Tottenham Hotspur. He found himself at a disadvantage, missing crucial preparation time in London due to his late transfer from RB Leipzig.
This Wednesday marks a significant game for Simons as he prepares to face Paris Saint-Germain, his former team, with Tottenham. The game draws much attention as it offers him the first opportunity to compete against his past teammates.
Simons’ transfer to Tottenham came with lofty expectations attached to a fee of around â¬64 million. Unfortunately, he has yet to fulfill these expectations. In fifteen appearances, he has yet to score, although he has contributed two assists. The late transfer has made it difficult for him to adjust and adequately prepare for the Premier League’s demands. Furthermore, Simons has expressed a preference for playing centrally as a ‘number 10,’ contrasting with his current role as a left winger.
