Arsenal have rep🀅ortedly been offered the chan𝕴ce to sign PSV Endhoven star Xavi Simons this summer.

The Gunners have started off the transfer window in style. Kai Havertz is the only one who has been signed, but Declan Rice and Jurrien ♕Timber are both reportedly on the verge of joining the club as well.

Now, Arsenal have been given🦩 an opportunity to sign one of Timber’s international teammates – Simons. Here’s what journalist Paul Brown claimed on .

Arsenal offered a chance to sign Xavi Simons

Xavi Simons had a sensational campaign at PSV last season, and it is no surp💎rise that he has been heavily lin꧅ked with a move away from the Netherlands.

The talented Dutch forward scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions, which is an outrageous return for someone wh🔴o is still only 20 years old.

Paris Saint🌟-Germain have an option to re-sign Simons for just over £5 million this summer () Unsurprisingly, they are really keen to do that, but a move is only possible if the youngster gives the green light.

That hasn’t happened yet, and Brown has 🦄claimed that Arsenal have been ♏offered the chance to sign him now.

He said: “I know they have been offered Xavi Simons. They do have an interest there but h⭕aven’t followed it up as yet.

“Romeo Lavia, they’ve clearly enquired about, so that would make him, of th♏ose names, the more likely to join. But as I say, I think that for Arsenal to buy another midfielder, once the Declan Rice deal is done, I think they’ll be lo꧟oking to move somebody out first.”

He ‘destroyed’ the Gunners

Xavi S🎉imons has been a popular name in Europe for a few years now even though he’s still just 20.

Mikel Arteta probably knew all about him even before last season started, but the Gunners boss got💞 the opportunity to watch him live when PSV faced Arsenal in the Europa League t🧸wice.

Simons didn’t score or assist against the Gunners in the two games, but he certainly impressed🌳 – especially in t𝄹he game in Holland in which Arteta’s men lost 2-0. Kevin Campbell was blown away by the youngster.

He told last month: “I like him. I thought he was excellent at P𓆉SV. And when I watched him against ღArsenal, I thought he destroyed us to be honest.”
