Xavi Simons has opened up about the pivotal role Micky van de Ven played in his decision to join Tottenham Hotspur. Before making the switch, van de Ven shared his insights about the club, igniting excitement among fans.

The 22-year-old Dutch midfielder, who recently switched from RB Leipzig to Spurs, has quickly captured the hearts of North London supporters. With his exceptional dribbling skills and creative vision, Simons brings much-needed flair to a squad currently facing injuries to key players like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

In a revealing conversation, Simons disclosed, "Micky van de Ven said, ‘We need you, so come here.’" This camaraderie among teammates emphasizes the influence of van de Ven in persuading Simons to take the leap to Tottenham.

Spurs fans had long been urging the club to secure a top-tier playmaker, and with the summer transfer window drawing to a close, they finally got their wish. Simons is seen as the perfect fit to enhance the midfield.

Interestingly, Simons is not just linked to van de Ven; he also has connections with another Spurs player, Wilson Odobert. The two became acquainted during their time in Paris Saint-Germain’s academy, where they battled together in ten matches for the Under-19 team.

With promises of exciting performances ahead, all eyes are now on Xavi Simons as he prepares to make his mark in the Premier League.
