Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly received full approval from the club's hierarchy to pursue Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams in what could be one of the summer's biggest Premier League transfers. According to Sky Sports' transfer expert Kaveh Solhekol, the Gunners have identified the 21-year-old Spanish international as their top attacking target to bolster their frontline.
Key details emerging about the potential transfer:
- Williams has a €50 million release clause in his Athletic Club contract
- The speedy winger has contributed 12 goals and 15 assists this season
- Arsenal scouts have watched Williams in person 8 times this campaign
- Personal terms are not expected to be an issue with the player keen on Premier League move
This potential signing comes as Arsenal look to build on their recent success and mount another serious title challenge. Williams' versatility to play on either wing would provide Arteta with more tactical flexibility. The transfer would also continue Arsenal's strategy of investing in young, high-potential players.
