Transfer Talk: Arsenal linked with PSV star Xavi Simons

TOP STORY: Arsenal linked with PSV star Xavi Simons

Arsenal will be offered the chance to sign PSV Eindhoven midfielder Xavi Simons, according to the Mirror.

The 20-year-old has been in sparkling form in the Netherlands this season, netting 16 goals, alongside nine assists in the Eredivisie, attracting attention from across Europe in the process.

Simons joined PSV on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, and while the French giants have a clause that would enable them to bring back the midfielder for £10 million, they have so far shown little interest in activating it.

PSG are reported to be cutting costs in the summer after breaching UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules earlier in the season, resulting in them becoming more selective with their transfer dealings ahead of next season.

The report suggests that Arsenal are eager to add young talent to their squad, with the 20-year-old Simons fitting the profile.

Arsenal have been reported to be willing to spend heavily in the upcoming transfer window, as Mikel Arteta looks to build a team to compete domestically and in Europe next season.
