Xavi Simons wechselte im Sommer von RB Leipzig zu den Spurs. Bisher ohne Erfolg.

Overview

  • The €60–65 million summer signing was brought on in the 7th minute for injured Lucas Bergvall and withdrawn in the 73rd as Spurs lost 0–1 to Chelsea.
  • English outlets labeled the display an "ultimate humiliation" and a "miserable performance," reflecting a surge in critical coverage.
  • Across 12 appearances and more than 500 minutes for Tottenham, Simons has registered no goals and only seven touches in the opposition box after an opening-day assist.
  • BILD and MOPO reported he was blamed for a sloppy pass in the buildup to Joao Pedro’s winner, adding to scrutiny over decision-making and impact.
  • Frank said Simons is progressing and getting into the right spaces, with FC Copenhagen’s visit in the Champions League offering an immediate opportunity to respond.
