In recent weeks, Xavi Simons’ performance has been a significant topic among Tottenham Hotspur fans. Since his transfer from RB Leipzig for £51 million, Simons has not adapted well to the Premier League. His struggles have drawn comparisons to Florian Wirtz’s difficulties at Liverpool.
Destiny Udogie’s Encouragement for Xavi Simons
Amidst these concerns, Destiny Udogie has shared a supportive message for his teammate. A Tottenham fan reached out on Udogie’s TikTok account, urging him to tell Simons to “lock in.” Udogie responded positively, stating he would convey the message.
Simons’ Recent Performance Statistics
- One assist in ten appearances
- 37 touches in a match against Everton
- Lost possession nine times
- No shots on goal during the Everton match
Simons featured poorly in a recent game against Everton, where he was positioned as a left-winger. His tough outing led to his substitution just after the hour mark, a decision that left Simons visibly frustrated.
Competition for the Number Ten Role
In another twist, Mohammed Kudus might have taken over Simons’ favored number ten position. His strong performance against Everton showcased a fluid Spurs attack, as he successfully handled the central role. Kudus has expressed his preference for playing behind the forwards, making it challenging for Simons to reclaim his place.
Despite the current struggles, Tottenham remains optimistic about Xavi Simons’ potential to impact the team positively. However, he must improve quickly to compete for his spot in the attacking lineup.
