It shouldn't be unexpected that a promising and fairly young attacking midfield has caught the eye of Arsenal. On the day that captain Martin Odegaard was rested during the second half against PSV Eindhoven, a potential partner for him in the future emerged.
Xavi Simons, not a name new to lovers of European football or talented youngsters, was maybe the star of the show, alongside snippets of why Arsenal are so keen on signing Cody Gakpo still. The 19-year-old already has a prestigious set of teams on his career list, which is only set to increase.
Having been from Barcelona's La Masia, Paris Saint-Germain snapped him up as a 16-year-old but lost him to PSV earlier this year. His demonstration of immense talent on the European stage could already prove to be costly for the French side.
