Question marks surrounding the form of RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons | OneFootball

Sport Bild reports that there are questions surrounding RB Leipzig forward Xavi Simons after his form has not lived up to expectations this season.

Simons is one of the first names on the teamsheet at the Red Bull Arena, but this has not been justified with his performances over recent games. The 21-year-old has lost the ability to decide games and has become a liability when it comes to defending.

This is said by the tabloid, to be becoming a problem in the dressing room as Simons is not so open to criticism and tips on how he can improve his game. Along with his advisors, the Dutch international is said to be able to do what he wants and is not becoming the face of the club that Leipzig had hoped for.

In the winter, Leipzig completed the permanent signing of Simons from PSG, but some individuals at the club are said to have questioned the signing as they could foresee the developments off the pitch.

Leipzig are currently sixth in the Bundesliga and if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, which is becoming a real possibility, then Simons is expected to leave in the summer along with a host of players and even head coach Marco Rose.
