Arsenal may be about to go a fourth consecutive season without any silverware, but, fortunately, not all is lost yet.
Indeed, Arsenal still have time to turn things around, but, in order to do that, they may need to make some signings this month.
Arsenal have been linked with a number of potential additions already.
Arsenal need a new attacker, and according to The Mirror, Mikel Arteta has now made one forward his top target.
Nico Williams is Arsenal’s top target
According to The Mirror, Mikel Arteta has now make Nico Williams his top transfer target at Arsenal.
Arsenal wanted Williams in the summer, and it appears as though that interest hasn’t waned.
This report states that Williams has a release clause of £50m, but a deal wouldn’t be easy.
Williams is open to a Premier League move, but the player’s wages would be very expensive.
Indeed, this report claims that Williams would want in excess of £300,000-week to sign for Arsenal, placing him firmly among the club’s top earners.
Arsenal’s highest earners Reported weekly wage
Kai Havertz £280,000
Gabriel Jesus £265,000
Declan Rice £240,000
Martin Odegaard £240,000
Thomas Partey £200,000
Whether or not Arsenal would be willing to pay Williams such a sum is unclear, but given that he’s Arteta’s top target, Arsenal may well push the boat out.
Nico Williams stats this season
Mikel Arteta is clearly a big fan of Williams, but would this be a worthwhile signing for Arsenal?
Williams was incredible at Euro 2024, but he’s followed that tournament up with a string of drab performances for Athletic Club.
