Man United need more attacking players this summer. They have signed Cunha and are close to sign Mbeumo. Now, the club is focused on striker. But, the Red Devils are also willing to sign another versatile attacker. They have been overly dependent on Bruno Fernandes.
On the other hand, Arsenal are also in need of attacking players. Their boss Mikel Arteta has already opened up about need for attackers. Gunners need backup for both Saka and Odegaard. In addition, they want to replace Martinelli and sign a new striker too.

The star in question here is Xavi Simons. He is 22 years old and currently plays for RB Leipzig. Simons has been regular member for Netherlands national team whom he has represented on 28 occasions so far. In those, he has scored 4 goals and picked 5 assists.
Simons can play anywhere on the frontline. He is mainly deployed as attacking midfielder. But, he is also able to play on both wings as well as central midfielder. For Leipzig, he has so far played 76 games and has registered 21 goals along with 21 assists.
