According to TBR Football, Arsenal recently established contact with Nico Williams’ camp. The Premier League club want to acquire his services while the Athletic Bilbao forward is keen on switching his club in the next summer transfer window.
Nico Williams is ready to switch his club
Nico Williams made his way through Athletic Bilbao academy and made his debut in 2020. In a short time, he managed to impress everyone and earn a spot for himself. Over the past couple of seasons, he has solidified his spot as one of the most exciting wingers in La Liga.
Williams is having a decent campaign so far after lifting the Euro Cup 2024. He has four goals and five assists in 30 games. He is averaging 2 shots, 1.7 key passes, and 2.3 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Spanish attacker is versatile enough to be deployed on either wing or in the central area. He has a good pace, smooth dribbling skills, and clinical finishing abilities. He also works hard off the ball and takes effective set pieces at times.
Nico Williams can join Arsenal
Arsenal have been lined with Nico Williams for many months now as they believe he can succeed at the club. They surely need more firepower in their attacking front. The concerned name can be an upgrade for the likes of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
While Williams might prefer joining Barcelona next summer, it remains to be seen if the Spanish outfit are willing to buy him considering the great forms of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. If not, the Gunners can provide him with a solid position in an exciting sporting project.
The 22-year-old will surely not come in for a cheap rate as he is rated highly. Moreover, there are plenty of clubs who are monitoring his situation and will be ready to take advantage even if a slight opportunity arises.
