Arsenal is looking to improve their offensive unit by signing Nico Williams from athletic club Bilbao during the summer transfer period.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Arsenal is planning a “big” summer in regards to transfers, targeting the 22-year-old. A report from Sky Sports adds that Chelsea is also enthusiastic about the players.
Williams has established himself as a key player in the club and country. He has contributed his goals for this past season 18. He’s definitely going to be a great deal of Arsenal and Chelsea acquisition. He is labelled as a “world class” player and could be a long-term asset for the two clubs.
Williams is also linked to Liverpool.
Arsenal can use the depth of attack
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal moves forward with an offer to sign him. They need an upgrade from Gabriel Martinelli, who has been so overwhelmed by this past season.
Williams adds pace, flare and goal from his left flank. He is versatile enough to work on the right side of an attack.
The opportunity to move into the Premier League can be exciting for players.
Chelsea can use Nico Williams
Similarly, Chelsea is one of the largest clubs in the world and has qualified for the Champions League. They will be an attractive destination for most players, and it remains to be seen whether Spanish International is keen to join them.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea will need to improve their offensive units if they want to fight for a massive trophy next season. Williams adds much needed unpredictability to his attacking units. He is still quite young and only improves with coaching and experience. He was able to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker with proper guidance.
