Arsenal were interested in signing Athletic Club star Nico Williams over the summer but a move failed to materialise.
Gunners were interested in signing a versatile forward during the last window, with Williams one of several names spoken about internally by Mikel Arteta and Edu. The 22-year-old was hot property after shining for Spain at Euro 2024 and was also linked with Barcelona and Chelsea.
He ultimately stayed put at Athletic Club, however, and explained his reasoning after the window closed. “It’s good big teams have you on their agenda, but I’ve always been clear, I want to be here,” Williams said, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
