Arsenal Told to Enter Transfer Race for Liverpool, Man Utd Target With PSG Sell-on Clause

In his column for CaughtOffside, Arsenal insider Charles Watts stated that a player like Simons is one that the Gunners should have on their radar to bolster their squad this summer.

“The reason I don’t see Arsenal buying two strikers this summer is I think they will spend big money on another winger,” Watts wrote. “It’s clear they need another option out wide, someone who can add to what they already have and help them open games up.

“As I said last week, I’m not sure it has to be an out and out winger. It could be someone who can play out wide, but can also drift into central areas and share the creative burden with Martin Odegaard. Someone like Eberechi Eze or Xavi Simons.”

Empire of the Kop recently reported that Liverpool are preparing an opening bid of around €60 million ($67.8 million) for the Netherlands international playmaker, as Arne Slot aims to boost his attack for next season.

However, despite Slot’s desire to make this player his first summer signing, the offer is likely to fall short. RB Leipzig are reportedly holding out for closer to €80 million ($90.4 million).
