Initial talks have focused on a move to London, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs all being considered by the Netherlands international. “The player’s agents have begun talks with Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal,” confirmed a source, highlighting the competitive nature of the pursuit.
Other Suitors and Concerns
Manchester United and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation, while Barcelona’s financial constraints have ruled them out. Despite interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, reservations about Simons’ attitude and professionalism could influence the final transfer fee.
Why Simons Fits Arsenal and Chelsea
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are in need of a dynamic attacking midfielder like Simons, who can enhance their offensive options. With 14 goals and 11 assists last season, Simons could be the spark needed to revitalize their attacks.
