Gunners Eye Bilbao Ace

Deal Could See Spain Star Arrive in North London

Arsenal are reportedly targeting Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams as their primary wide-player target in the final week of the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have been linked with several players in recent weeks, but Williams has emerged as their preferred option.

The 20-year-old has impressed for Bilbao this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists in 30 appearances.

He has also been capped twice by Spain, making his debut in June 2022.

According to The Independent, Arsenal are willing to pay up to £48 million for Williams.

However, Bilbao are reluctant to sell their prized asset and are holding out for a higher fee.

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to reach an agreement with Bilbao before the transfer window closes on September 1.
