Arsenal Arm Berta with £200m War Chest to Land Nico Williams and Reinforcements
Arsenal are preparing for a blockbuster summer transfer window as they hand new sporting director Andrea Berta a massive £200 million budget to reshape the squad. The Gunners are eyeing a trio of major signings, with Spanish-Ghanaian winger Nico Williams topping the wishlist.
According to The Sun, Berta is prioritizing moves for three key targets: Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad, and Athletic Bilbao’s rising star Nico Williams. Arsenal are ready to activate Williams’ £40m release clause, despite a dip in form this season, where he’s tallied 7 goals and 5 assists in 39 appearances.
Zubimendi, the La Real captain and midfield anchor, is another prime target, with a proposed £50m bid in the works. Meanwhile, Gyokeres, who has been in electrifying form in Portugal, is seen as a vital addition to Arsenal’s attacking options.
Beyond headline names, the Gunners are also planning for squad depth improvements, with a new goalkeeper on the radar to replace Neto, who returns to Bournemouth after his loan spell.
Berta is currently in talks with the Arsenal board to finalize funding for these deals, and there is growing optimism that all three transfers can be completed. As Arsenal aim to take the next big step in their quest for Premier League and European glory, this summer window could prove pivotal.
