Scout report
X. Simons is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Tottenham, rated 82.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (63.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Simons.
Judged on this season alone, Simons graded 44 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals, 5 assists and 2.544 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 54 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 82, top 35% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 23 Simons is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 98.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Simons missed 4 games through injury and 3 suspensions (knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tottenham finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 82.4, Simons carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 35%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tottenham finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
