Former Dutch international, Ronald de Boer gave his opinion on the development of Xavi Simons, courted by the Rangers.
Established during the last two rounds of the Coupe de France at the end of December and the beginning of January, then came into play during the clash between OL and PSG (1-1) last Sunday in Ligue 1, Xavi Simons benefits from a small exposure in the jersey of the PSG first team. Observers of Dutch football did not miss these expected professional debuts, and several local media have noted the debut of their young compatriot.
Ronald DeBoer : “He suddenly became a man”
Former Dutch international, Ronald de Boer notably commented on the progress of the young 18-year-old attacking midfielder at the microphone of local television. Before giving him advice for his future: “I really think he suddenly became a man, a guy. Before that he was really frivolous and very shy, really a young player. He’s so young and that’s the problem with PSG. Then, you have to be as exceptional as Kylian Mbappé for example. “
Because if Simons was able to show himself at the start of 2022, Ronald de Boer fears that this is only temporary: “He just needs to start playing for several hours, but is he going to do it?” Chances are he won’t get that in Paris. A Dutch club would be good for him, Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord. It’s the top 3, otherwise I think there are other clubs that would like to have it ”, explained the former striker passed by Ajax Amsterdam, FC Barcelona or Glasgow Rangers.
Glasgow Rangers who continue to be associated with Xavi Simons according to information from the Daily Record. The Scottish newspaper explains that Gio van Bronckhorst, the Dutch coach of the Glasgow club, is interested in the services of his compatriot; and that Mino Raiola, the agent of the former Barça player, would favor a loan in the event of an extension with the Parisian club – which the latter wishes. As a reminder, Xavi Simons is linked until June 30, 2022 with PSG, but a departure from this winter does not seem to be relevant.
