20-year-old midfielder Arsenal were offered chance to sign now named one of the best youngsters in the world
RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons has been nominated for the Kopa Trophy ✱after being offered to Arsenal this summer🦩.
of the best youngsters in the world was released yesterday and featured the 20-year-old🔯 Dutch international.
The Kopa Trophy is awarded to the best player under the age of 21⛄ in world football.
Past winners include Kylian Mbappe, Pedri, Gavi ꦬand Matthijs 𓆉de Ligt.
The ten nominees this year include Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musiala and new Manchester United si🉐gning Rasmus Hojlund.
Arsenal did very well during yesterday’s nominations in other categoriesജ, with three of their men’s squad reco✨gnised.
Aaron Ramsdale has b♛een named one of the top ten goalkeepers in the world who are trying to win the Yachine Trophy.
Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were both nominated for the Ballon d’Or for the first time ✨in their careers.
Now, Xavi Simons is in contention to win the Kopa Trophy after being offered to Arsenal in the summer.
He h🐠eaded to the Bundesliga instead and has picked up where he left off after a brilliant campaign w🎐ith PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal target Simons nominated for Kopa Trophy
Simons was one of the breakout stars🍌 of Eꦬuropean football last season.
He helped PSV Eindhoven finish second in the Eredivise with some incredible performances, scoring 19 ಞgoals from an attacking midfield role 🦩and providing eight assists.
His🌸 numbers were exceptional and tempted PSG to activate their buy-back clause in the youngster’s contract.
Instead, he headed to RB Leipzig, where he’s already got five goal contributions in his first thr🐈eဣe league games.
Arsenal will wonder if thཧey missed an opportunity not making more of an effort to sign Simons after his Kopa Trophy n𝓰omination.
Mikel Arteta acted early in the transfer market to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea who has struggled to adapt to life at the Emirates.
If they had been more patient, they could have made their move for Simons wh𒁏o would have been much cheaper and was already in brill⛦iant form before making a summer move.
Arteta will hope h♐e doesn’t end up regretting passing up the chance to sign the 20-year-old.
