Arsenal have held discussions with Nico Williams’ about a possible move to the Emirates during the summer transfer window
A lot has happened since Nico made his league debut just over two years ago. Last season, he scored nine goals and provided six assists in 43 games in all competitions.
He also made his senior Spain debut and has really developed into one of the most exciting attackers in the Spanish League this season, and his performances has led to alot of speculation in recent months that all the big clubs are very interested in getting a transfer deal done
Arsenal have sounded out Williams after deciding to up the ante in their pursuit, according to GMS sources, and they are seriously considering triggering the £43million release clause written into his Athletic Bilbao contract.
And amid all the speculation – Former France midfielder Emmanuel Petit, who played for ARSENAL FC as well as Barcelona, rates the 11-cap Spaniard as one of LaLiga’s hottest talents.
Real Madrid and Liverpool have been tipped to launch summer approaches for the 21-year-old.
But Petit, 53, recently told Football Betting: “Would Nico Williams be a good fit at Arsenal? Absolutely, he’s been one of the best young players in Spain this season.
“He’s got five goals and ten assists already this season. He’s fast, powerful and always runs towards the goal and facing defenders with great skills and dribbling.
“He can play on the right or left and every time I watch Athletic, they always give him the ball because he’s so good at facing two defenders.
“He’d be a very good addition to any team as his skills are devastating. I love players who are always provoking defenders.”
DO ARSENAL NEED WILLIAMS?
The lad is a special talent that is making all the right noises in the game – but he does not need to move yet and should stay at his current club as he is playing the football that he needs to develop.
W are sure that Mikel Arteta knows what he wants – but Williams is a player that has shown no real desire to leave Bilbao at this stage of his career.
