July 19, 2025 — Xavi Simons has made it known: he’s ready for the Premier League. The Dutch international is keen to leave RB Leipzig this summer and has brought in a top-level agent to help make the move happen, according to the Daily Express.
Simons, 21, spent last season on loan from PSG at Leipzig, where he continued to show why he’s considered one of Europe’s most exciting young talents. Now, with another strong campaign under his belt, he’s eyeing a new challenge — and England is the preferred destination.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are paying close attention. While neither club has made an official bid yet, there’s a clear sense that interest is real. For Arsenal, Simons could add further dynamism to their midfield and wide options. For Chelsea, his profile fits their long-term vision of building around young, technically gifted players.
The player’s contract situation and PSG’s stance will ultimately shape how this unfolds, but with Simons pushing behind the scenes, movement in the coming weeks wouldn’t come as a surprise.
