Arsenal remain keen to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams but will have to fend off competition for the Spaniard's signature from Bayern Munich, a report in Germany has revealed. Williams' future was a hot topic last summer when his heroics at Euro 2024 seemed destined to be followed by a blockbuster transfer.

Arsenal might be well placed to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club, but Manchester United are in position to swoop for their Europa League rival.

Arsenal are intent on signing Athletic Club star Nico Williams as they ready themselves for an 'unprecedented' summer transfer window.

William Saliba has been one of Arsenal's key players since he became a regular starter three seasons ago. The 23-year-old signed a new contract in 2023 and at the end of this season will be entering the final two years of his deal.

Manchester United could ruin Arsenal’s hopes of signing Nico Williams this summer. Sensational reports in Spain on Tuesday claimed that Williams had given his agent the “green light” to finalise a deal with Arsenal.
