Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have both expressed interest in RB Leipzig’s highly-rated midfielder, named Xavi Simons as the Frenchman prepares to leave the Bundesliga club this summer.
According to reports, the young midfielder has made it clear to Leipzig that he is ready for a new challenge. His impressive performances in the Bundesliga and in European competitions have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
Chelsea and Arsenal have already made enquiries about the Simons’ availability, looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the 2025/26 season.
