Nico Williams will leave Athletic and has a new team

Nico Williams has made a key decision in his career: he will leave Athletic Club to join Mikel Arteta's Arsenal next season, as reported by Todo Fichajes. Despite recently renewing with the Basque club, the Spanish winger took advantage of the 60 million euro release clause in his new contract to define his future away from San Mamés.

The Premier League will be his destination, and although Aston Villa also showed great interest, the Gunners managed to convince him with an ambitious sporting project.

Nico Williams will play for Arsenal

Barcelona tried to sign him last summer, but economic constraints prevented the deal. Now, months later, Arsenal has acted decisively to secure Williams as a key element in their setup. The influence of Mikel Arteta has been crucial in this move, as the coach has been pushing for his arrival for some time, and his wish will finally come true.

The Spanish forward has given his approval to the London club's proposal, making him one of the highest-paid players in the squad. Without intending to negotiate with Athletic, Arsenal will directly pay the release clause to complete his transfer smoothly. With this move, the Gunners strengthen their attack with an explosive and unique player, while Athletic will lose one of their biggest talents.
