If Arsenal were to put €4m forward for Xavi Simons, he could tell PSV to consider it. It is because he wants to move there. The sources explain that when he signed his five-year contract, the midfielder knew he was ‘in a position of strength’. And that’s why he can ‘force’ the Eredivisie side to ‘consider any offer from another club of an amount minimum of €4m’. And this ‘over the entire duration of his contract’.
Xavi Simons could be a game changer for Arsenal
Signing for PSV Eindhoven on a free from Paris Saint-Germain last summer. Xavi Simons had a first season to remember in Holland. He has been brilliant.
The midfielder scored 22 goals and assisted another 12 in all competitions over the course of 48 appearances. This caught the attention of Arsenal.
This isn’t the first time the Gunners have been linked with the Dutchman. But L’Equipe remind their readers about it on Monday, and bring some very interesting information.
Whether he would actually do that remains to be seen. But the player has planned to reconvene with his agents once he returns from holidays. If clubs position themselves and offer him a nice opportunity, he will listen to them.
That’s when Arsenal are mentioned as being ‘in the running’. But it’s made clear that Simons would only leave if he was guaranteed started. It should be an important amount of minutes and an important role’ in his new team, much like he has at PSV.
Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a summer swoop for PSV Eindhoven midfielder Xavi Simons, as per the Mirror. The youngster is a versatile midfielder. He can play multiple positions across the middle of the park. It will be something to watch out for in the coming days. Arsenal will certainly keep an eye on their target.
