Following a promising but ultimately frustrating Champions League run—ended in the semi-finals by PSG—Arsenal is already looking ahead. The priority? Strengthening squad depth, which proved lacking in key moments.
One name keeps popping up around the Emirates: Nico Williams. The Athletic Bilbao winger, despite a slightly less explosive season than the last, remains a hot prospect across Europe.
With 10 goals and 8 assists in all competitions, the 21-year-old continues to impress with his pace and consistency. His profile is a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta, who is keen to inject more speed and creativity out wide.
Should a deal for Williams fall through, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Dortmund) and Rafael Leão (AC Milan) are also on Arsenal’s radar—both more expensive options, but equally admired by the club’s decision-makers. One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a busy summer in North London.
