Arsenal lead race to sign Spanish wonderkid Nico Williams

According to FootballTransfers, Arsenal retain an interest in the 22-year-old who has been heavily linked with a move away from his boyhood club in the summer.

It’s understood Mikel Arteta’s side are in a better financial position than both Chelsea and Barcelona, and would be willing to offer Williams a £200,000 per week wage packet.

Williams currently earns €200,385 per week thanks in large part thanks to Athletic’s unique ‘Basque only’ policy, meaning they rarely spend in the transfer window. 

The winger recently scored the opener in Spain’s 2-2 UEFA Nations League draw with the Netherlands on Thursday.
