Premier League giants Arsenal are determined to secure the signing of Spanish international of Ghanaian descent Nico Williams in the summer window.
For a large portion of last summer, Barcelona were understood to be keen about the signing of Nico Williams, who plies his trade for Athletic Bilbao.
He came close to joining the Catalan giants last summer but the move fell through after Barcelona failed to trigger his release clause.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has consistently been linked with Williams, following his immense form for Spain at the European Championship last year.
Williams opted to snub significant transfer interest in order to remain at Athletic Club.
In a dramatic turn of event, the 22-year-old has been tipped to secure a high-profile transfer this summer, with several clubs jostling for his services.
According to reports, Arsenal are pushing to finalise a deal in their bid to improve the attacking options at the club.
Per reports, Barcelona are in longer interested in Williams as they turn to sign Gabriel Martinelli from the Emirates Stadium.
However, Barcelona’s interest in the Arsenal star could hand the Gunners a free run at signing Williams in the next window.
