It has been a mixed start to life at Tottenham Hotspur for Xavi Simons, but how does it compare to James Maddison?

Tottenham Hotspur were busy in the summer transfer market, securing the services of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United and Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

The pair cost a little over £100 million, with Kudus arriving for a fee of around £55 million after proving himself in the Premier League.
