Hailed as one of the most excitable young footballers around, Simons signed for PSG U19 as a free agent in the summer of 2019. Before making the switch to Paris, he enjoyed a nine-year stint at Barcelona’s academy.

In an interview with Le10Sport, the current PSV Eindhoven cited a lack of playing time as well as enthusiasm from the Dutch side’s management as factors contributing to his exit. Opening up about his PSG transfer, he said: “PSV is a great club. The ambition expressed by management made me more enthusiastic. I spoke to the coach very quickly, he told me a lot about the club's project. I am how he wants to play and how he sees my role. I'm at a point in my career where I have to start having playing time. It's possible here.” Before joining Eindhoven as a free agent earlier this summer, Simons played only 11 games for Paris Saint-Germain’s first team, recording one assist. The Dutch midfielder has enjoyed an excellent start to the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign, recording four goals and two assists in only three appearances. PSG s 100% run comes to a screeching halt Paris Saint-Germain welcomed Monaco to the Parc des Princes for their Ligue 1 matchday four encounter on Sunday night (August 28). Monaco frustrated the defending French champions on the night and secured a 1-1 draw. The visitors found the back of the net with their first attempt of the night, with Kevin Volland applying the finishing touch to a blistering counterattack. PSG, who squandered many presentable chances on Sunday, finally scored the equalizer in the 70th minute, with Neymar winning and then putting away a penalty. Luck was also not on the hosts’ side, with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Achraf Hakimi all hitting the woodwork over the course of the match.
