There are very view players in Arne Slot’s squad that can play as an attacking midfielder and on the wing.

Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott are the two names that stand out when it comes to this type of versatilty and it seems that this is something Liverpool could address ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Arne Slot has admitted that Liverpool are preparing for the summer transfer window as the Dutch coach looks to add some of his own players having inherited a very stong squad from Jurgen Klopp.

A left-back will the priority for Liverpool and a striker is another option should Darwin Nunez leave Anfield at the end of the season.

Liverpool were ‘extremely keen’ on Simons last summer as it emerged that the Dutch talent would not be staying at Paris Saint-Germain.

The midifelder joined RB Leipzig on loan before the Germany club made the deal permanent during the latest transfer window.

“It’s looking likely that Leipzig will sell Xavi Simons in the summer transfer window.

Leipzig had the chance because PSG were happy to sell as they can’t loan so many players in Europe (they’re only allowed six).”

£67m (€80m) is a lot for a player that is still very young and has not shown his full potential, however, it is a situation that Liverpool may pounce on.

Simons is an extremely talent young star and the Dutch talent is someone Arne Slot may be keen on as he looks to add another attacking midfield option to his list.

Simons is an attacking midfiedler, who can also play on the wing, and is known for his cretaive output with the RB Leipzig star producing five goals and four assists across 18 matches this season in Germany.

The Premier League leaders are unlikely to spend £67m on a player to back up its main stars, therefore, the Dutch coach could be used to replace Mohamed Salah should he leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
