An insider at Arsenal has revealed that the club is scheduled to meet with a ‘world-class’ player this week in an attempt to persuade him to join during the summer transfer window. While negotiations with Bologna for Riccardo Calafiori continue, Arsenal is also believed to be in discussions to sign an attacker.
This update comes from an Arsenal insider, who has shared the latest information on The Gunners’ pursuit of a highly sought-after Euro 2024 star.
A significant presentation has been prepared for Nico Williams. According to Team News and Tix, the insider has provided updates on the club’s interest in Spain and Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. “I’ve heard rumors that we are set to speak with Nico Williams this week to explore the possibility of convincing him to join us,” the insider shared on his Patreon. “The rumor is that we have prepared a presentation similar to the one we did for Rice. I spoke to someone at the club who confirmed that we are very interested in him and will take the opportunity if it arises.”
Williams is believed to have a £50m release clause in his contract, which has alerted clubs across Europe. Barcelona, Chelsea, and Newcastle United have all shown interest in the 2002-born winger, who scored in the Euro 2024 final against England.
Nico Williams has been described as ‘world-class’ by Optus Sport and had an outstanding season with Bilbao last year. The Spaniard scored eight goals and provided 19 assists, showcasing his elite playmaking skills—an asset somewhat lacking in Arsenal’s wide areas.
The rapid forward excels in one-on-one situations and is most effective playing off the left wing, meaning he would compete directly with Gabriel Martinelli if he joins Arsenal.
In other news, a £105m ‘superstar’ that Arsenal wants to sign has just agreed to join PSG this summer.
