Xavi Simons does wonders at PSV Eindhoven
At the end of the contract last summer, Xavi Simons did not extend. The Dutchman was waiting for certain guarantees regarding his playing time, that the PSG obviously wasn’t ready to give it to her. The 19-year-old crack then freely joined the PSV Eindhoven. And since, Xavi Simons flames in Eredivisie. Number 7 keeps confirming the potential it possesses. International Orange shine far from PSG (12 goals and 5 assists in 30 games in all competitions). This Saturday, he also scored a sublime goal against Groningen during the heavy victory of his team (6-0), confirming his current form.
PSG can get him back, PSV will block him
For his part, the PSG must probably regret letting him go for free. With the absence of Kylian Mbappe, Xavi Simons would certainly have been able to help out in the eleven of Christophe Galtier, at a time when the Parisian coach is sorely lacking in bench depth in attack. THE PSG is in crisis right now, and Xavi Simons observes all this from the Netherlands, where he makes the happiness of the PSV Eindhoven and of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Moreover, the Dutch club are reportedly looking to extend the 19-year-old’s contract in order to block the buyout clause that the PSG possess to recover Xavi Simons. « We see Xavi Simons as a key player in building this PSV. It is partly for this reason that we are also discussing an extension with him. We have to see how this evolves. But I’m sure there will be an extension » confided Ruud van Nistelrooy, the coach of the PSV Eindhovenin comments reported by The Telegraph recently.
