Rafa Honigstein on Spurs’ Big Signings: Xavi Simons, Kolo Muani & Kane at Bayern

Join us for an in-depth chat with renowned Bundesliga journalist Rafa Honigstein as we break down Spurs’ summer window through a German football lens. We start with the headline arrival Xavi Simons (~£50m) — where he fits now, how he complements (or eventually replaces) Maddison, and why Leipzig were willing to sell despite his outrageous talent. Rafa also assesses Randal Kolo Muani (why he’s a true No.9 runner rather than a target man, and how Spurs can play to his strengths), plus the contrasting Bayern exports João Palhinha (system mismatch at Bayern, perfect shield for a pragmatic side) and Mathys Tel (hybrid forward brilliance that still needs a defined role). We then go big on Harry Kane at Bayern — elite finishing, world-class playmaking, leadership, and the realistic scenarios for what’s next. Finally, Rafa previews our Champions League opponents (Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt), and gives a candid take on Bundesliga fan culture & 50+1 versus the Premier League. Oh, and yes… the best schnitzel in Munich gets a verdict. What we cover Xavi Simons: role, versatility (10/inside channels), consistency, and ceiling Could Simons and Maddison dovetail long-term? Kolo Muani: how to unlock him, confidence, and development curve Palhinha & Tel: why one struggled at Bayern, where both thrive next Harry Kane: awe in Munich, leadership, legacy, realistic exit timelines Champions League: what to expect from Dortmund & Eintracht Bundesliga atmospheres, 50+1, and the PL’s financial gravity Munich away-day tip: Spatenhaus schnitzel rating 🍽️ If you enjoyed this, hit Like, drop your questions for Rafa in the comments, and subscribe for more smart Spurs analysis each week. #Spurs #THFC #XaviSimons #KoloMuani #HarryKane #Bundesliga #RafaHonigstein #ChampionsLeague #BorussiaDortmund #EintrachtFrankfurt #PremierLeague 👍 Enjoying the show?Follow or Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.Rate & review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — two sentences is all it takes to push us up the charts and bring more Spurs fans into the fold.🔗 Quick linksThingLinkWatch the full videoYouTube.com/@EchoOfGloryJoin the debateX (Twitter) @EOGTHFCBehind-the-scenes clipsTikTok & Instagram Reels @EOGTHFCMerch & supporter perksanechoofglory.com/store   💬 Feedback or guest ideas?Drop us a voice note on SpeakPipe or email [email protected]. Thanks for listening — and as always, Come On You Spurs!
