These clubs have made it clear that they wish to be kept abreast of any developments regarding Simons’ availability.

The Eindhoven outfit, understandably, would be reluctant to part ways with the promising midfielder for a meager sum of €6 million. It remains to be seen whether they are willing to entertain offers from other suitors willing to meet their higher valuation in this window.
Simons has been heralded as one of the most exceptional young talents in global football, with his potential to blossom into a world-class player becoming increasingly evident. His impact on the pitch has been significant, demonstrated by an impressive tally of 22 goals and 12 assists across all competitions for PSV Eindhoven this season. Such statistics underline his ability to bolster the attacking prowess of any team fortunate enough to secure his services.
Manchester United, in particular, are in dire need of additional creativity in the final third, especially with Christian Eriksen entering the twilight of his career. Simons could provide the creative spark required to unlock more goal-scoring opportunities for the likes of Marcus Rashford, while also alleviating some of the burden on their attacking unit.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, having secured Champions League qualification, are eager to strengthen their squad depth. With Martin Odegaard emerging as the sole reliable creative midfielder at the club, Simons’ arrival would offer valuable cover and bolster their creative options.
Tottenham, too, have been linked with various attacking midfield targets, underscoring their desire to inject more goals and creativity from the middle of the park. Simons, with his immense potential, would represent a superb long-term investment for the North London side.
