Arsenal leads the race to sign Athletic Club star Nico Williams, according to reports. Last summer, Arsenal approached Williams, but he chose to negotiate with Barcelona instead. In July, he shocked fans by signing a massive 10-year deal with Athletic. Injuries have limited his impact in LaLiga this season, but he remains a key target for the upcoming transfer window. Arsenal aims to secure him this summer, with a €100m exit clause in his contract. RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande is also on Arsenal's radar as a potential left-wing replacement for Gabriel Martinelli. Diomande boasts a strong season, yet Williams brings superior experience and proven performance, including a pivotal goal in Spain's Euro 2024 final win. If Arsenal misses out on both targets, they could pursue Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, who is valued at £75m, though Newcastle seeks £95m.
