Chelsea and Arsenal need Zabi Simons
The 22-year-old has been doing very well in the Bundesliga and he has the qualities to compete in the Premier League as well. He could prove to be Chelsea’s ideal acquisition in offensive. You need a dynamic attacker that can be slotted into multiple roles. Simons helps creatively and scores goals.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is also monitoring his situation. It will be interesting to see if the gunners have decided to bolster their efforts to sign players, especially after contacting them from Chelsea.
Both clubs need to improve their offensive units this summer. A multi-purpose attacker like Simons would be the ideal acquisition.
