Arsenal are looking to make a big splash in the transfer market, with a new left-winger top of Mikel Arteta's shopping list.
What's the latest on Arsenal's transfer plans?
The Gunners are keen to sign a new left-winger, with Morgan Rogers reportedly the top target. However, Aston Villa's £100million-plus valuation may prove a stumbling block.
Who is the alternative target?
Emmanuel Petit has suggested that Arsenal explore a move for Nico Williams, who was heavily linked with the Emirates last summer. Williams has a reported €100m (£86m) release clause in his contract with Athletic Bilbao.
Why is Williams a good option for Arsenal?
Williams is a powerful player with excellent dribbling skills, and Petit believes he could bring a huge improvement to the Gunners. With Arsenal currently 1st in the Premier League, 7 points clear of Manchester City, and unbeaten in their last 5 games, they will be looking to strengthen their squad for next season.
| Category | Stat |
|---|---|
| League standing | 1st in Premier League, 85 pts, 26W-7D-5L from 38 games |
| Recent form | 3W-2D-0L (DDWWW, most recent first) |
| Goals this season | 71 scored, 27 conceded (+44 goal difference) |
Williams has had an injury-plagued season, restricting him to just 20 La Liga starts and 6 goals. However, he was a key player in Spain's Euro 2024 triumph and could be a valuable addition to the Arsenal squad.
