He could be the next in a line of Dutch players to make the move
Xavi Simons is eyeing up a Premier League move after a stellar Euros performance that has seen already present interest in the Dutch forward intensify.
This comes after the 21-year-old assisted three goals across the tournament as well as scoring an incredible long range effort against England in the semi-finals.
Now clubs in the Premier League are looking at acquiring the attacker’s signature with Manchester United notably interested.
This makes Simons the third Dutch player being pursued by the also Dutch manager Erik ten Hag who is looking to bolster his options this Summer after a poor season for The Red Devils.
Simons, who is currently contracted to PSG, spent the last season on loan at Leipzig where he played 43 times, scoring 10 and assisting 15.
His good form has seen his market value double from £33.5m to £67m although that has not discouraged teams from across Europe taking interest in the playmaker.
Leipzig are said to be interested in making Simons’ loan permanent while Bayern Munich have also made their appreciation for the player aware.

The Dutchman is looking for more consistent game time away from PSG although any move for the starlet would likely consist of a loan-to-buy deal to avoid a hefty sell-on clause PSV inserted into his contract which expires in 2024.
It is reported that PSG will be looking to get around £70m for the rising star after resigning him from PSV for only £5m in 2023.
If United did make the move for Simons he could be in line to become part of a trio of Dutch signings for the club with Matthijs de Ligt heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford while Joshua Zirkzee has almost completed his move.
The three players would join Tyrell Malacia in bolstering the Dutch contingent in the squad with Ten Hag and his new assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy also helping The Red Devils turn orange.
United came eighth last year in the league, their worst ever Premier League finish, however fans are optimistic that with new part-ownership under Ineos their fortunes might just change.
