Xavi Simons is quite the player and for Arsenal to have reported interest in the Dutch star should raise eyebrows. The Gunners are indeed interested in signing an attacking midfielder this summer football.london understands and with Mason Mount currently looking far more likely to make a switch to Manchester United, Simons would be a fantastic alternative.
Arsenal do have a number of attacking midfielders already with Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira all to choose from, but Simons offers great versatility. The 20-year-old was used in multiple areas last season from the wing to attacking midfield and even as the most advanced central player.
Mikel Arteta as we know is a huge fan of players who can offer him options in multiple positions which is exactly what Simons is all about. Interestingly he might be able to give Bukayo Saka some of the rotation that the England international has been crying out for.
