Wayne Rooney, Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd sit down with Xavi Simons at Tottenham’s training ground for a rare and revealing conversation.

Xavi reflects on his journey from child prodigy with 2 million Instagram followers at 12, to international star navigating moves from the Netherlands to Barcelona, PSG, Leipzig and now London. He shares what it was like leaving Barça at 16, walking into a PSG dressing room with Neymar and Mbappé, and why Neymar became a mentor.

He opens up about choosing Tottenham, his Premier League ambitions, and the player who’s impressed him most in England. Plus, Wayne recalls Ruud van Nistelrooy’s fiery clashes with Cristiano Ronaldo, his childhood idol Duncan Ferguson, and even the time Barcelona’s goalkeeper drove over his foot.
