Arsenal are now leading race to sign Nico Williams. The winger will reportedly earn over £50m at the London club.

The winger has a £50 million release clause in his contract with Athletic. Although the La Liga side managed to retain him ahead of this season. The 22-year-old has excelled in recent weeks. As he’s taken his tally to nine goals and seven assists in all competitions for the season in 2024/25.
The Gunners have had the winger heavily linked to them over the last year. And reports have it that Mikel Arteta has his name out in front as a top target.
They sit 12 points apart of newfound leaders Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. There are still nine games remaining. They are crying out for a new striker but they’d also need to sign a winger. They have relied to much on Bukayo Saka. And the other attackers have underperformed.
The Gunners transfer plans this summer
The Champions League is by far the only opportunity to get some silverware for the Gunners. As they had a terrible run of injuries in their league campaign.
Mikel Merino and Ethan Nnaweri have provided some useful options. There is room for stronger depth ahead of next campaign.
