Xavi Simons is one of the most mediatic young footballers in the world, he grew up in Barcelona and went to PSG in 2019, a very difficult team to make the step to the first team at just 18 years old. In the summer of 2022 he opted to go to PSV Eindhoven signing for 5 seasons, with PSG having a buy-back option.
Style of Play
He’s an attacking midfielder, with a very high technical level, excellent player carrying the ball and taking good decisions for the high pace at which he always tries to play.
Simons constantly appears between the lines, looking for the right space, making high-quality key passes. Sometimes he lacks a bit of pause, since his verticality always makes him try to progress the ball.
Despite being a short player he is strong, not losing many duels. He must improve in defensive positioning.
Injuries
No serious injuries.
Projection
For his career, PSV Eindhoven seems to be the right path, after not being able to play many minutes for Barcelona or PSG, being a league with a level in which he can stand out.
