Arsenal handed £42.6m Nico Wiliams transfer chance after Unai Emery meeting

Arsenal have been given a boost in their hopes of signing Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.

The 20-year-old enjoyed his first full season as a key player for the La Liga club, clocking up 43 appearances for the Basque side and registering 15 goal involvements. Williams’ impressive performances saw him earn international recognition last term and led him to be included in Spain’s World Cup squad, featuring in all four gamaes at the tournament.

The Gunners were linked with a move for Williams earlier this year and were reported to be facing a transfer battle with Liverpool. However, it is Aston Villa and former Arsenal boss Unai Emery who appear to have made the first move for the forward, according to reports in Spain.
