A sensation in Barcelona's youth academy during his time in Barcelona, Xavi Simons is now making progress at Paris Saint-Germain, where he hopes to gradually take on a more prominent role.
The young player already knows what it's like to make his first-team debut for the French club, but his youth has not yet earned him the right to be a regular for Mauricio Pochettino.
That said, the former Barca man seems determined to prove that PSG's youth ranks are already too small for him. The latest evidence of this came in the recent UEFA Youth League clash against RB Leipzig.
In that game, Xavi Simons shone brightly and provided three assists to help his side to a 4-1 win. It was a display that also served as a warning to PSG.
The player's contract with the Parc des Princes club expires in 2022 and, if there is no promotion to the first team, Simons could try his luck in another team that will guarantee him the minutes in the elite that he is crying out for.
