Xavi Simons makes Tottenham feelings clear in two-word message before West Ham

Xavi Simons is pushing to make his Tottenham debut in their upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United. The 22-year-old officially joined Spurs 24 hours before the visit of Bournemouth but was ineligible to feature as he had not been registered in time.

The club's new poster boy - following the departure of Son Heung-min - was instead unveiled in front of roughly 60,000 Tottenham supporters which left him rather emotional. The September international break and a fixture away to West Ham means it has and will continue to be some time before he plays at his new home.

However, he has been getting stuck in at Hotspur Way with his first full training session since joining taking place on Wednesday.

The previous eight days had been spent at Netherlands camp alongside international and new club teammate Micky van de Ven. Simons played 78 minutes of their 1-1 draw against Poland and was an unused substitute for the 3-2 victory over Lithuania.

Missing the latter likely meant he was raring to go at Spurs and minimal recovery was required with a similar scenario playing out for Cristian Romero. He came back to Hotspur Way earlier than expected with suspension meaning he would miss Argentina's second game of the break.

Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson and Djed Spence were among the other Tottenham stars returning to north London over the last 24 hours.The latter was also awarded his first England cap after a bright start to the season at left-back.

Destiny Udogie will be fighting to reclaim that spot with a number of battles elsewhere on the pitch developing. Dominic Solanke and Richarlison look set to compete for the striker spot, assuming the former has overcome an ankle injury that has plagued him since pre-season.

Simons also looks set to be involved in one of those despite the fact he is the only natural No.10 available to Frank. That is because Pape Sarr has been exceptional in the role with his goal-scoring form continuing on international duty.

With limited sessions under Frank, it does seem unlikely Simons will start but he will be given plenty of opportunities. And he seems overjoyed at the decision to join Spurs over the likes of Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

Following his first full training session, Simons uploaded a collage of photos to his Instagramwith most of them showing him in action on the grass. The post was captioned: "happy boyyyy."

Even if he is given reduced minutes on Saturday evening at the London Stadium, a start will not be too far off with Spurs kicking off their Champions League campaign against Villareal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday.

Following that, Spurs do not have a free midweek before the October international break with a Carabao Cup and another Champions League fixture on their schedule between games against Brighton, Wolves and Leeds United.
