During the summer transfer window, Arsenal discussed the possibility of Nico Williams joining the club.
Nearly two years have passed since Nico made his professional league debut. He appeared in 43 games in all competitions last year, scoring nine goals and assisting on six more.
In addition to making his senior Spain debut, he has emerged as one of the league’s most intriguing attackers this season, sparking widespread speculation that all the major teams would love to sign him.
According to GMS sources, Arsenal is seriously contemplating activating the £43 million release clause in Williams’s contract with Athletic Bilbao and has contacted him in an effort to step up their interest.
The 11-cap Spaniard is considered one of the most exciting young players in La Liga, according to Emmanuel Petit, a former France midfielder who played for ARSENAL FC and Barcelona.
Speculation has it that Real Madrid and Liverpool will make moves to sign the 21-year-old this summer.
“Would Nico Williams be a good fit at Arsenal?” Petit, 53, asked Football Betting recently. Without a doubt, he has been among Spain’s top young players this year.
So far this season, he has a goal and ten assists. He dribbles and dashes with incredible speed and power, constantly threatening defenders and the goal.
His versatility as a left- or right-back means that Athletic almost always finds a way to put the ball in his court, as he is adept at dribbling past two defenders.
The deadly nature of his abilities makes him an asset to any team. I adore players who never stop getting the better of the defense.
Does Arsenal require Williams?
It would be a mistake for the young man to leave his current club just yet; he has a unique talent and is making all the proper noises on the field.
W are confident in Mikel Arteta’s ability to express himself, but Williams is a player who, thus far in his career, has shown little interest in leaving Bilbao.
