🌟 Simons Joins Tottenham, Influenced by Frank
👋 Tottenham’s new summer signing, Xavi Simons, recently shared that manager Thomas Frank played a major role in his decision to join the club. Simons, who transferred from RB Leipzig for £51.8 million in the final days of the summer window, chose Tottenham over rivals like Chelsea. He has already made a positive impact, featuring in Tottenham’s winning start to their Champions League campaign against Villarreal (a 1-0 victory) and making his debut against West Ham on Saturday.
🤝 The Coach’s Impact and Team Spirit
✨ Simons openly stated that Frank’s significant influence on the team and the club’s strong position for a Champions League run were key reasons for his move. “If I’m honest with you, that’s why I signed here, especially the club, especially the coach who has had a really big impact into the group,” Simons said. He also noted the strong unity within the squad, even after only his second week. Conversations with Frank were particularly important in helping Simons make up his mind, despite also having talks with Chelsea in London.
🚀 Looking Ahead: Premier League Challenge
📈 With a successful 1-0 win over Villarreal to kick off their Champions League journey, Simons feels optimistic about Tottenham’s prospects this season. The team will now shift its focus back to the Premier League, preparing for an away match against Brighton this Saturday. Simons is expected to feature once more, continuing his impressive start to his Tottenham career.
