Dimitar Berbatov has talked about the challenges he faced after his move to Tottenham Hotspur, and his comment would give some perspective to Spurs fans on being patient with new signings.

Patience is not a virtue that modern-day football fans have, and one of Tottenham’s marquee summer signings is finding that out first-hand.

Xavi Simons is coming under a lot of criticism, with some pundits already deeming him a bad fit for the Premier League.

The fact that Xavi was unhappy to be taken off against Everton has made some fans livid, and the £52m man certainly has a lot of work to do to win over the Tottenham faithful.

However, a former Tottenham star’s confession about his early struggles shows why Spurs fans need to be patient with the Dutchman.

Berbatov oozed class from the second he set foot on the pitch at White Hart Lane in 2006, but the Bulgarian has admitted that he certainly had some doubts and challenges after his move from Bayer Leverkusen.

When asked about the struggles of Florian Witz at Liverpool, the former Spurs striker has pointed out how difficult it is for a new signing coming into the Premier League.
