Xavi Simons is winning over the Tottenham faithful, and his latest gesture away from the pitch has only strengthened that bond ahead of the north London derby.
Tottenham Hotspur will be happy with how Xavi Simons has been performing in recent weeks after a difficult start to life in north London.
The Dutchman managed just one assist in his first ten outings for Spurs and often struggled to deal with the physicality of the league.
However, that all seems to have changed, with Simons playing with far more confidence, showcasing his dribbling and playmaking skills in the number ten role for Tottenham.
So far this campaign, he has managed nine goal contributions, scoring three times and assisting six in 33 appearances.

Simons is not only trying to improve on the pitch but is also getting familiar with the culture of Tottenham.
Ahead of this week’s north London derby, the Tottenham number seven posted a photo of himself with youngsters from the Spurs academy, and captioned it “THE FUTURE. 🤍 #COYS”
Tottenham fans have now given their reaction, with many pleased by the gesture the Dutch international showed.
One fan said: “Yer a good lad Xavi”, while another commented: “He seems like he is really trying hard to learn everything about Spurs and works his ass off doing the right thing! Top bloke.”
One more added: “It is great to always have someone who just gets it at the club! @xavisimons been a pleasure witnessing your growth and transformation throughout. You are making it work, you have made it work, that alone is inspiration enough for a great future and especially the young lads.”
Another supporter stated, “I have fallen in love with you, never leave us king.” The praise kept coming, with a fan commenting: “Proper ambassador for the club alongside Madders.”
Another had an on-field request: “Great to see you taking a wider interest in the club and the youth. Spurs through and through. Now announce yourself in the NLD. Game was made for big game players.”
While a final supporter commented: “Thank you for representing our club so well on and off the pitch. Grateful you decided to come here and for all the quality you bring each week. My son and I love watching you play, keep grinding through these hard times, we have your back!!! COYS!!!”
Spurs commitment from Xavi Simons delights supporters
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Simons opted against taking the five days off that were given to Tottenham players following the sacking of Thomas Frank.
The Tottenham number seven instead chose to spend his time off on the training pitch, and that is the sort of commitment many Tottenham fans love.
Should Simons get his name on the scoresheet or produce a standout performance in the derby clash against Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it will cap a fine week for him both on and off the pitch.
