Key strength: Vision and passing
Creative playmaker
Languishing in 18th place with survival hanging in the balance, Levante UD's €40 million investment in Xavi Simons represents both their greatest hope and mounting pressure. The 23-year-old Dutch attacking midfielder—donning the iconic number 7 shirt—has shown flashes of his creative pedigree across four appearances and 360 minutes of action, registering one assist while operating as the team's primary playmaking hub. Despite possessing the technical gifts that commanded such a hefty fee—the close control, the vision, the ability to glide past defenders—Simons is yet to open his goal account. For a player brought in to ignite Levante's attack, the statistics remain frustratingly slim: 0 goals, 1 assist, a solitary yellow card. Yet alongside teammates like Robert Navarro and Jon Ander Olasagasti, the former Barcelona and PSG youth product offers something intangible: the promise of magic in a campaign desperate for moments of inspiration. With recent form reading LWWWL, Levante's rollercoaster season needs its Dutch prodigy to translate potential into production. The Segunda División awaits its next chapter.
