RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons is currently one of the hottest commodities in the transfer market and he has been linked with multiple top clubs.
The 22-year-old has been outstanding for the German club, and his performances have attracted the attention of clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if the Bundesliga side is prepared to let him leave this summer.
Simons has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League, and he will look to join a top club capable of winning trophies.
Xavi Simons: Background and Early Career
The Netherlands International came through the ranks at Spanish club Barcelona, where he was regarded as a prodigious young talent. However, he never quite managed to break through to the first team scene at the La Liga club. The player joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019, and he was expected to develop into the next big thing at the French club.
After failing to secure regular first team action at the French club, the player joined Dutch outfit, PSV Eindhoven on a five-year contract. It was here that the Netherlands attacker managed to find his footing and he notched up 22 goals, and 11 assist in all competitions.
His performances in the Netherlands prompted PSG to bring him back to the club in the summer of 2023. They decided to send him out on loan immediately to German club RB Leipzig and he was quite impressive in the Bundesliga. The German outfit decided to make the move permanent last season, and the player has been an indispensable asset for them ever since.
