Arsenal aims to sign Nico Williams for £49 million

Arsenal is reportedly planning to pursue Nico Williams, a winger from Athletic Bilbao, in the upcoming summer transfer window. Manager Mikel Arteta is in need of new attackers due to injuries affecting key players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. Williams, who has gained attention for his impressive performances in La Liga, has a release clause of approximately £49 million. Arsenal may be looking to activate this clause to strengthen their squad depth. The idea of Williams playing alongside Saka is exciting for fans. In recent reports, it was mentioned that Arsenal has admired Williams for a long time. While there was interest last summer, no transfer took place. However, this time could be different. The Gunners are reportedly willing to offer Williams a long-term deal, potentially until 2030. Williams has shown his talent on the international stage too, scoring four goals for Spain. His current contract pays him around £170,000 per week, but Arsenal may present a better offer to attract him to London. With their vision for the future, the club hopes to gain an edge in signing the young star.
