RB Leipzig, a prominent German football club, has made an exciting addition to their roster by signing Xavi Simons, a talented 20-year-old midfielder from the Netherlands. The signing was confirmed by both RB Leipzig and French champions Paris St Germain, the latter being Simons' previous club.

Before joining PSG, Simons had a fruitful stint at Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven. During his time there, he showcased his incredible skills and emerged as the second-highest scorer in the league, netting an impressive 19 goals in 34 games. His contributions played a vital role in guiding PSV to a commendable second-place finish and securing the 2022-23 KNVB Cup.

Max Eberl, Leipzig's Board Member for Sport, expressed his delight at the signing, stating that Simons is an exceptional young talent. Eberl praised the Dutch midfielder, hailing him as one of Europe's finest attacking midfielders in his age group, and believes he possesses all the qualities necessary to make a significant impact in the Bundesliga.

Simons' football journey has been quite interesting. Having originally developed his skills in Barcelona's prestigious academy, he made the move to PSV in June 2022 after his contract with PSG expired. However, after a successful year at PSV, Simons returned to PSG, only to be immediately loaned out to RB Leipzig.

Simons himself is thrilled about the move to Leipzig, as the club regularly competes in the prestigious Champions League. He praised the team's dynamic blend of youthful and experienced players and expressed his confidence that his style of play would complement the squad well. The young midfielder is eager to contribute to the team's success and aims to achieve great things together with RB Leipzig.

Simons has already caught the attention of the Dutch national team, earning a call-up for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He made an impressive debut, earning his first cap and making an impact in the last-16 match against the United States, which the Netherlands won 3-1.

As for RB Leipzig's recent performance, they finished third in the Bundesliga, securing their spot in the upcoming Champions League group stage. With the addition of Simons and their existing talented squad, they are determined to make their mark in both domestic and European competitions.

Overall, the signing of Xavi Simons promises to bring excitement and anticipation to Leipzig fans, as they eagerly await his contributions and potential stardom on the football field.
