RB Leipzig’s highly-rated attacking midfielder, Xavi Simons, reportedly favours a move to the Premier League this summer, putting several top English clubs on high alert.
The Dutch international, who has impressed on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is understood to be keen on taking the next step in his career by testing himself in English football. His clear preference is a direct signal to potential suitors in the league.
According to reports, two of London’s biggest clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal, are closely monitoring his situation. Both teams are in the market for creative midfield talent, and Simons fits the profile of the type of player they are looking to recruit.
While no formal bids have been made yet, the player’s desire to make the move could encourage one of the London giants to make an official approach in the coming days. The race to sign one of Europe’s most exciting young talents now appears to be officially underway.
