"Igor Tudor on his decision not to use Xavi Simons: When asked about Simons in his press conference, Tudor made it clear that even if the former Leipzig man was a major signing for the club, he currently felt he couldn't start him as he was simply doing his best for the team."
"For all his natural talent and ability, Simons looks like he still needs to mature with his decision-making, while he's perhaps also struggled with the physicality of English football, which is something he can work on and which could happen with age anyway."
Xavi Simons, signed by Tottenham from RB Leipzig for £52m last summer, has struggled to deliver in the Premier League with only two goals and five assists this season. Interim manager Igor Tudor has decided not to start the 22-year-old Dutch international, prioritizing team performance over the player's transfer cost. Tudor indicated that while Simons remains a possibility for future selection, he currently doesn't warrant a starting position. Simons may need to improve his decision-making and adapt to English football's physicality. His future at Tottenham remains uncertain, with potential options including loan moves or departure if the club faces relegation.
