There may well be two Premier League games left to play, but that hasn't stopped what's now a pretty consistent stream of transfer rumours regarding Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's side are set to end the campaign trophyless for the fifth year running, so it's no surprise that the board are already seemingly hard at work looking for the player who can get them over the line next season.
The first player set to come through the door once the window opens next month looks set to be Martin Zubimendi, with transfers expert Fabrizio Romano giving the move the 'here we go treatment' late last week.
Adding the Spanish international will undoubtedly improve the North Londoner, but if recent reports are to be believed, the club are now targeting another international who'd be an even more exciting signing.

The last few weeks have seen Arsenal linked with several incredibly talented internationals, such as Ollie Watkins and Antoine Semenyo.

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
The former was a surprise target for the club in January, and while they failed with a £50m offer then, they are still fans of him ahead of the summer, and as he's racked up a haul of 30 goal involvements in 52 games this season, it's not hard to see why.
Likewise, with 11 goals and seven assists to his name in 40 games for Bournemouth this season, it's not hard to understand why Arteta and Co might be keen to add Semenyo to the squad, who could be available for around £42m.

However, for a player to be an even more exciting addition to the team than Zubimendi, they've got to be one of the most sought-after in their position, such as Nico Williams.
Yes, according to a recent report from Spain, Arsenal have maintained their intense interest in the Athletic Bilbao monster going into the summer.
In fact, the report has revealed that Andrea Berta has made the Spaniard a 'top priority' and that with him believing it's a time for a change of scenery, the Gunners are in a 'fierce battle' with Chelsea for his signature.
The report does not mention a transfer fee, but stories from earlier this week have reiterated claims that the 22-year-old has a release clause in his current deal worth around £48m.

It could be a complicated and costly transfer to get over the line, but given Williams' immense ability, it's one Arsenal should be fighting for, especially as he'd be an even more exciting acquisition than Zubimendi.
Why Williams would be such an exciting signing
Now, as we've already said, signing Zubimendi is undeniably exciting, as not only is he one of the most important players for a club the size of Real Sociedad, but he's also a Spanish international and was reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid.
However, there are several reasons why Williams would be even more exciting, such as his attacking output.
For example, in just 37 appearances last season, the Pamplona-born "level-raiser," as dubbed by data analyst Ben Mattinson, scored eight goals and provided 18 assists.

Then, so far this year, he's scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in 44 appearances, coming out to an average of 1.42 and 2.44 goal involvements per game, respectively.
Moreover, he's also an incredibly dynamic player to watch, with FBref placing him in the top 2% of attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe's top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, for successful take-ons per 90.
Finally, not only has he won nine more caps for the senior Spanish side, but he also scored the opening goal in the final of the European Championships last summer, showing that the big occasions do not bother him.
Ultimately, Zubimendi will be an excellent signing for Arsenal, but there is no doubt that Williams would be even more exciting.
