The report further claims that the Liverpool manager loves the player and is a fan of Simons’s technical ability. Jurgen Klopp has a proven track record of improving young players and could help the 19-year-old develop into a top-class player and fulfil his tremendous potential. Simons is widely regarded as a prodigious talent who has the attributes to develop into a world-class player. The former Paris Saint-Germain whizkid has done quite well since his move to PSV and he has been a key starter for them this season.

Much has rightly been made of Cody Gapko lighting up the Eredivisie this season, with the PSV Eindhoven captain delivering the kind of numbers which ...

The Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, going into his third tournament as national manager, has traditionally stuck to tried and tested selections and systems but he simply could not ignore the form of Simons for the initial extended squad. It is evident that Simons already possess that lethal combination of natural attacking prowess and in-game intelligence that all the very best have. Go through his goals this season and Simons is a player who instinctively knows where to be when the ball is in the box and can cause equal havoc by driving inside from the wing or arriving late from the middle of the pitch. The decision he made to follow home comforts by returning to his native Netherlands on a free transfer shows that Simons has a wise head as well as electric feet. He has started every game in the Eredivisie and Europa League, scored on his debut against Ajax as PSV won the season curtain raiser – the Johan Cruyff Shield – and has now deservedly been named in Louis van Gaal’s provisional squad for the Qatar World Cup. In what is effectively his first season as a regular, following a summer move from Paris St Germain, at the time of writing Simons has 10 goals and 4 assists in 19 appearances in all competitions.
