Xavi Simons is determined to establish himself among the elite,fueled by a desire to join the growing contingent of Dutch players in the Premier League and make a significant impact with both Tottenham and the Netherlands national team.
Simons, now the fourteenth player from the current Netherlands squad to compete in the Premier League, expressed his ambition, stating, “I knew: I want to be there too. You have the best players there. I also want to be the best. I know what I want to achieve and I will do that too.” His transfer marks a pivotal moment in his career, as he seeks to elevate his game and “leave his mark” on both club and country.
