Arsenal considering audacious move for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams

August 23, 2024La Liga

Arsenal are considering a bold attempt for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams during the final week of the transfer window as the Euro 2024 winner is Mikel Arteta’s preferred target to add to his wide options.

The 22-year-old is one of Europe’s hottest properties following a very successful campaign last season in which the Athletic Club talent produced eight goals and 19 assists across 37 matches in all competitions, guiding the Spanish team to Copa del Rey glory.

Williams would follow this campaign up with some sensational showings at Euro 2024 as Spain went all the way in Germany. The winger scored in the final against England and as a result, attracted heavy interest from Barcelona this summer.

The Catalan club made the Spaniard their number one target ahead of the 2024/25 campaign but they could not make the transfer happen as the La Liga giants are still dealing with financial issues.

That has left the door open for another big European club to step in and that could be Arsenal during the final week of the transfer window.
