Nico Williams improves Arsenal
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can convince players to move into the Premier League. Chelsea and Liverpool are also linked to players. Williams has established himself as one of the most exciting players in La Liga, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. If he joined the club, he could change Arsenal with the offense.
He has proven his quality in the club and country in recent months, and has the ability to hit the ground running in British football. He adds targets, pace and talent to his Arsenal offense. His signature allows Arsenal to rotate some of the key players.
The 22-year-old is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front 3, making him a potential Arsenal asset in the long run. He was still quite young and could improve further with proper guidance. Mikel Arteta has done well to develop young players and was able to help Williams grow into a world-class player.
