Premier League Giants Set to Battle for Athletic Bilbao Star

Arsenal are gearing up for a major summer transfer move as they plan to activate the €60 million release clause of Athletic Bilbao’s dynamic winger, Nico Williams.

The 22-year-old, who has Ghanaian roots, has been a standout performer for both his club and the Spanish national team, drawing interest from top European sides. According to El Nacional, Arsenal are determined to bring Williams to the Emirates and are prepared to offer lucrative wages to outbid Barcelona, whose financial struggles could hinder their pursuit.

Williams, whose contract with Bilbao runs until 2027, is reportedly open to a Premier League switch, increasing the Gunners’ hopes of securing his signature. However, Arsenal face stiff competition, with Liverpool and Chelsea also closely monitoring the winger’s situation.

This season, Williams has contributed four goals and five assists across 30 appearances, reinforcing his reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers.
