Arsenal fans will expect any new signings in the summer transfer window to be elite players only and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams is certainly one of those.
The Gunners already have one of the best squads in Europe and any future additions are going to come at quite the expense and expected to hit the ground running.
Nico Williams is currently plying his trade in Bilbao but has long been linked with a move to England or Barcelona.
Arsenal fans…how many goals can you put last Mansfield Town in the 5th round of the FA Cup?
Now, according to reports from TeamTalk, Arsenal could finally get their wish and sign Williams this summer.
How Arsenal could sign Nico Williams in the summer transfer window
Nico Williams is always a name that crops up ahead of the transfer window and it’s no surprise to see him get a mention already.
It’s reported that Williams could finally be ready to move on this summer and that Arsenal are among a cluster of big clubs to have got word of it.
Crucially, it’s suggested the Gunners have indeed been briefed on Williams’ availability ahead of the summer.
Williams will cost Arsenal a huge sum if they do want to sign him. The forward has a widely reported release clause of around £87m in his contract, a fee Bilbao will fully expect to get if they do sell.
Nico Williams is Arsenal’s perfect signing
When it comes to wingers or forwards who Arsenal can get their hands on, there aren’t many out there who are better than Nico Williams right now.
The fee would be a big one but in modern football, the best players cost the big money.
With Arsenal competing on four fronts this season and still in with a chance of a historic quadruple, they know full well that they’re an attractive proposition for any player this summer.
