Footballing icon Lionel Messi has previously warned Barcelona to not sign Arsenal transfer target Xavi Simons, according to reports.
Simons played alongside Messi for French giants Paris Saint-Germain during the 2021/22 campaign before the talented youngster opted to leave the Parc des Princes last summer, joining Eredivisie outfit PSV. Since then, the 20-year-old has gone from strength to strength, netting 16 goals and providing a further eight assists in the league.
That kind of form hasn't gone unnoticed either, with a host of clubs including Arsenal recently linked with a summer transfer. As per the Mirror, the north Londoners will be offered the chance to sign the Dutch international at the end of the season.
