Xavi Simons

Yep, the quick double touch, that gets himself out of trouble, and sets him on his way, all in one move. Also rare to see someone dribble through the middle of defence and shoot (if only for Spurs if it's common elsewhere)?
The combination of dribbling, combination play, vision (head up rather than head down) and good ball striking is rather rare. Maddison has some of that combination.

If Simons signs and fulfills his potential he'll be a special player for us. Or top top as some would say.
 
Why weren't more clubs after him? He supposedly turned down Bayern and City? I read that somewhere. Why was Chelsea seemingly the only club after him? Where were Real, Barca, Juve, PSG and the lot for someone who is considered such a generational talent?

Depends what you mean by "generational"?

I guess he's not seen in that very elite category of players/talents? Which I think is fair, he's not quite a generational talent.

I mean...seriously that's not really an argument. How many clubs were after Eze besides ourselves and the scum?
