Arsenal are intensifying their efforts to sign Spanish-Ghanaian star Nico Williams, with the Athletic Bilbao winger emerging as a key target for the January transfer window.
The Premier League giants are reportedly in advanced talks with Williams’ representatives and have positioned themselves to trigger his €58 million release clause. Mikel Arteta’s side is determined to finalize the deal, having narrowly missed out on the 22-year-old last summer.
Arsenal’s renewed interest comes amid an urgent need for reinforcements following Bukayo Saka’s injury, which sidelines the England star for up to three months. With their right-wing options stretched thin, the Gunners see Williams as an ideal fit to fill the void and maintain their attacking threat.
Although AC Milan’s Rafael Leão remains another option, his steep valuation of €75–€80 million makes Williams a more practical acquisition. Arsenal are now waiting for the final nod from the Spanish international, whose versatility and explosive pace could transform their front line.
If Williams approves the move, Arsenal’s January window promises to kick off with a blockbuster signing to boost their title aspirations.
