The future of Nico Williams seems to be heading towards the Premier League. Chelsea and Arsenal are engaging in an intense battle to secure the services of the Athletic Club winger, who has emerged as one of the biggest prospects in Spanish football. As reported by The Athletic, both London clubs are willing to make a significant investment to convince the player and trigger his release clause set at 60 million euros.
Arsenal and Chelsea go all out for the Spanish star
Despite the Spanish international opting to stay in Bilbao after considering options like FC Barcelona or Liverpool last summer, his future could change in the upcoming transfer window. The gunners, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, see Williams as a key piece to bolster their attack, but the financial implications complicate the deal as the player himself does not appear ready to leave the red-and-white club for now.
On the other hand, Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, also view the talented winger as a solution to enhance their performance on the flanks, particularly given the underwhelming impact of players like Mykhailo Mudryk or João Félix. With the chance to return to the Champions League, the blues are prepared to take on the financial challenge to secure the signing.
