Arsenal are very likely to enter the January window in search of attackers. They have now been handed a major boost in the pursuit of one of their long term targets.
Gunners are not known for making big signings in January. But, this time the scenario is different due to injury crises. Bukayo Saka who has been the best player for the club has undergone surgery. He will be out for long time which has made club weak in final third.
Arsenal wanted to sign a striker and winger in summer 2024 itself. But, the deals never happened. They will now enter the market for these positions again. As of now, Nico Williams is the top target for the club.
Arsenal handed major boost in the pursuit of Williams
Gunners have been handed a major boost in the pursuit of Williams. As per the Daily Mail, Williams fits in the budget of the North London club. The 22 year old has £50 million release clause and Gunners will not have problem in triggering it.
This will come as a major boost for Mikel Arteta who will like to add the 22 year old to his squad in January. However, the player will also have a say in the deal and may opt to stay at Athletic Club until the end of the season.
Firstly, the 22 year old will be an upgrade on under performing Martinelli and Trossard. In addition, he can be a quality replacement for Bukayo Saka due to his versatality. Lastly, he can be a long term investment due to his young age.
Williams has been one of the best young players in the world recently. He had an amazing tournament with Spain national team in Euro 2024. He helped his country to win the European title for the fourth time by scoring in the final.
