Arsenal are now willing to take next step in the pursuit of Spanish star. They are planning to submit an official bid this month.
It is no surprise now that Gunners will be active in the market this month. They are in desperate need to sign attacking players. Bukayo Saka underwent surgery which made this need an urgent necessity.
The North London club have been linked with some of the best attackers in the world. Earlier it was reported that, they are prepared to sign Matheus Cunha. Now, they are said to be willing to make a move for their long term target.
The star in question is Nico Williams of Athletic Club. The 22 year old has been on the radar of Gunners since the summer window. He impressed the club with his performances for Spain national team in Euro 2024.
Arsenal along with some other top clubs were keen to sign Williams in summer. But, the deal never happened and the 22 year old had to stay at Athletic club. But now, Gunners are finally ready to take the next step.
Arsenal prepared to take the next step in pursuit of Nico Williams
According to Football Transfers, Gunners are ready to submit a bid for Nico Williams. But it will depend on the player’s desire to make a switch to Premier League in the middle of the season.
Nico Williams is one of the best young players in world right now. He mainly plays on left wing but is equally adaptive on the other wing. He has been the first team player for Athletic club since the past 4 seasons.
Williams has so far played 145 games for Athletic club’s first team. With this vast experience and quality, he can surely get into the Arsenal lineup very soon. In addition, he can thrive under his compatriot Mikel Arteta.
Athletic Club may show hesitation in parting ways with their key asset in the middle of the season. Hence, they will surely demand Gunners to pay the player’s release clause of €58 million fully. The North London club should have no problem in paying that amount considering the fact that Williams can be a long term investment.
