Tottenham Hotspur have released footage of new signing Xavi Simons being put through his paces in his first training session at Hotspur Way, and it makes for very interesting viewing.Following Tottenham’s 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, where the Lilywhites failed to create any chances, Thomas Frank identified Simons as the man to solve Spurs’ creativity issues.Based on that comment, one would expect the Danish coach to throw the new £51m Tottenham signing straight into the starting eleven.It is certainly a tough start to be thrown into the deep end in a London derby away at West Ham, and Spurs fans will be hoping that the Dutchman can rise to the occasion and showcase his class.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramVideo: Xavi Simons takes part in interesting Tottenham training drillsAfter returning from the international break, the attacking midfielder met his new Tottenham Hotspur teammates for the first time, with the club sharing footage of his first training session.Simons has said that the number ten role is his preferred position, and based on the drills he was involved in, it looks certain that he will be used centrally by Thomas Frank.The drills predominantly show the new Spurs signing trying to wiggle free of his marker centrally and play the wide players through on goal.Xavi Simons' first training session 😍 pic.twitter.com/Tpak5pHl9s— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) September 10, 2025 Would Frank be tempted to start Simons on the bench?The one thing to keep in mind is that the Netherlands international would only have had a couple of training sessions with his new teammates before the clash against West Ham.Additionally, Pape Sarr has continued his impressive form during the international break, scoring two in two for Senegal and once again showcasing his knack for arriving late into the box.It is thus not out of the question that Frank will persist with a midfield trio of Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Joao Palhinha for a tough away fixture and introduce Simons for the final 30 minutes.READ MORE: Tottenham duo named in top five Premier League players who perform better at homeThe post Video footage emerges of Xavi Simons’ first Tottenham Hotspur training session appeared first on Spurs Web.
