Mikel Arteta’s top target remains Nico Williams
Speaking to Sky Sports, David Ornstein revealed that Arteta’s top target remains Nico Williams ‘by a mile.’
“We know Arsenal love Nico Williams, he would be Mikel Arteta’s top choice by a mile if they were going to recruit a wide player, but he seems really happy where he is at the moment,” Ornstein said.
“It’s not PlayStation or Football Manager.”

Arsenal not expected to make further incomings
Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has reported that Arsenal are not expected to make any more signings before tonight’s deadline.
“Arsenal were looking at the possibility of adding a wide forward before the deadline but, as it stands, they do not look likely to do so,” Sheth said.
“That means any potential deal for Raheem Sterling or Kingsley Coman is not expected to happen.”
