One man who is going to be crucial to England’s chances of winning is multiple Premier League title winner, Kyle Walker.
The Manchester City right-back is known for his speed and how he can cope with the best of the best players in world football.
His next challenge will be a certain Arsenal transfer target going by the name of Nico Williams.
Walker spoke about the Athletic Bilbao star’s speed and how ‘I have never seen something so quick’, as he told talkSPORT.
Sources have told HITC that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal want to sign Williams this summer, with pre-season already underway and the new campaign just over a month away.
Kyle Walker amazed by the speed of Spain star Nico Williams
On if he is quicker than Nico Williams: “Good question,” responded Walker. “I saw him run the other day and I have never seen something so quick.
“I would have to give him the respect (in the Euro 2024 final) as I do every player. But, hopefully, he gives me the respect as well that we have both earned playing the game of football.
“It will be a good test. Obviously, the (final England XI) team (for the final) hasn’t been mentioned or anything now, but if I am selected, then I would give it my all, especially in a European Championship final.”
Nico Williams would be an upgrade at Arsenal
Sources have previously told HITC that the likes of Arsenal have been shocked by Williams’ wage demands, amid the interest in him.
Barcelona are also keen on Williams, so that probably makes things more difficult for the Gunners.
Arteta is having to fight a crazy and trophy-winning animal in Pep Guardiola over in Manchester and they are proving to be difficult to dethrone.
Arsenal missed out on the Premier League title on the last day of the 23/24 season and it’s clear they just need to sprinkle some extra magic on their team.
Williams would provide that in abundance and he would also be an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who play on that left channel.
