Leaf Trading Cards - 2022 Leaf Continuum Soccer (10) - Xavi Simons

201 cards

Leaf recently announced that they had placed the wrong stickers on the 2022 Continuum cards of Xavi Simons, who is currently on loan at PSV Eindhoven from Paris Saint-Germain. They requested collectors contact them for replacements. The card on the left is the incorrect one, while the replacement is displayed on the right, but I still haven't been able to discover who the incorrect signature belongs to. Does anyone recognise it?
UPDATE (09-11-2022 15:32):  Nik Yeomans has identified the signature as belonging to Xavier Simons, who currently plays for Hull City, on loan from Chelsea. So, I suppose, it's an understandable mistake, using Xavier Simons' sticker instead of the Xavi Simons one.

    1. I missed that one, thanks for highlighting it. It could be called a full house. Not only the wrong autograph but also the wrong photo. Any idea who he is....
      Anyone work for the FBI, their facial recognition system would be a great help at times like this.

    2. It IS Xavier Simons on the eBay card, but the Chelsea player, not PSG. It is his autograph that has been incorrectly applied to the PSG Simons cards.

    3. Hi Nik,

      I didn't realise there were two players Xavi and Xavier Simons, which means I can now delete another post that I was going to publish tomorrow. I'll add an image of a Xavier Simons card here to show the difference.
      Thanks again for your help.
