Arsenal is stepping up its efforts to strengthen its squad with the pursuit of Nico Williams, a Spanish international with Ghanaian roots.
The Gunners are on the lookout for a winger and have their sights set on the 21-year-old, who recently signed a new contract, indicating that he won’t come cheap. However, they face stiff competition from the likes of Real Madrid, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.
Athletic Bilbao, Williams’ current club, has made it clear that they have no intention of selling the talented player, despite interest from several clubs. Williams himself has also shown his loyalty to his current club.
Arsenal’s interest in Williams is driven by the need to provide support for Bukayo Saka and to add variety to their attacking options, reducing the reliance on the England winger.
Amid speculation about the potential departures of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, and Eddie Nketiah, Arsenal is preparing for a possible summer overhaul.
Looking ahead, Arsenal is keen to replicate their successful strategy from last summer by focusing on high-quality signings to bolster the squad.
Their targets include a striker, which could provide tactical flexibility with Gabriel Jesus potentially playing from the left, as well as reinforcements in midfield and on the wing.
