The talented attacker has signed on loan for one season from French champions Paris Saint-Germain. He will wear the number 20 shirt at RB Leipzig.
PSG activated their buy-back clause for the 20-year-old a few days ago. He returned to France after an unbelievable season with PSV Eindhoven, scoring 22 goals and recording 12 assists in 48 competitive games. He ended the campaign as the top goalscorer in the Eredivisie (19 goals).
Xavi Simons:
“The Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in Europe and RB Leipzig are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga. Coming to Leipzig is the right step for me because RBL constantly show how to develop young players and be successful with them.
“I’m joining a club that regularly plays Champions League football. The squad has the perfect mix of lots of young and experienced players, and the whole club is hungry for success. I was immediately impressed by RB Leipzig’s style of play and I strongly believe that my qualities will be a good match for this team and we can achieve a lot together. I can hardly wait to play with my new teammates and to start the new season. Leipzig – I can’t wait!”
