Super agent Ali Ballat shines in the transfer market this summer, and he has led to many important deals, including Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson on loan to Bayern Munich, Chelsea winger Maduerke transfers to Arsenal and Chelsea target Xavi Simmons joining Tottenham. In an interview with The Confidential News, he talked about this busy summer transfer window.
About Chelsea's goal Simmons joins Tottenham: "There were real interest in both sides. At the time Chelsea had some restrictions that made it difficult for them to move forward with this deal, and we fully understood that they told us very clearly from the beginning. So when we started negotiating with Tottenham, their connection and clarity stood out and it was soon clear that their plan was very suitable for Simmons' development."
"Simmons' conversation with Thomas Frank was very critical because Frank pointed out a lot of things that needed to be improved. Simmons had heard such words as 'you're great' before, but Frank really pointed out what he needed to work on. It was total honesty. Simmons had a strong mindset and had been hailed as a talented teenager since he was 14. He was not afraid of challenges and accepted Frank's words with a positive attitude."
