This is clearly a shock that is very difficult for Chelsea fans to accept, as rumors over the past few weeks suggested that Xavi Simons was close to joining Chelsea, but in the end he chose Tottenham as his future destination.

This is undoubtedly a great development for Tottenham, as we all know Xavi Simons' exceptional talent. Moreover, the position left vacant by Son must be filled, and Xavi Simons' arrival should be a blessing for Tottenham.
He possesses exceptional speed, which will be highly valuable in the Premier League. Although this marks a new adventure for Xavi Simons, his individual skills—particularly his speed and dribbling ability should greatly benefit his career. Let us hope the Premier League does not derail his career, as has happened to some star players who have come here before.

He wasted his talent to join Tottenham.

Tottenham is a team that should be just for a stepping stone, Simons actually has a good value because he's young, perform and even play for his national team. Not sure why Simons not move to Chelsea, I think his quality should able to reach starting lineup.

What's the purpose Simons want in Tottenham? this team high unlikely to win prestigious trophy.

In this situation, it seems that Xavi Simons wants to establish a comfortable career first because he realizes that when he is at Chelsea, the competition will be even tougher, especially since we know that Chelsea always buys many players in the same position and currently has a crowded attack line, which makes Xavi Simons reconsider.

It is indeed ideal to be at a big club, but when competition is fierce, a player will naturally prioritize a club that can offer sufficient playing time. Tottenham will certainly see this as an opportunity, especially since the winger position is currently vacant.
This is indeed a risky situation for Xavi Simons, but regardless of the circumstances, the agreement has been made, and he must now focus on what he believes is best and most beneficial for him.
