PSG U19 coach Stephane Roche is pleased with the way Xavi Simons has settled.

The former Barcelona whizkid quit La Masia for Barca last month after turning 16.

Roche said, "His way of being is different from what's going on around him. He is simple in the relationship with his teammates, even if he still battles the language barrier. He speaks English and Spanish.

"But, I speak mostly football with him. Even before you give the instructions, you see that he understood, looking at others. He has a strong ability to train seriously."
