Arsenal are advancing in their efforts to secure new players and might be prepared to trigger the release clause for one of the standout performers in the Euros.
Manager Mikel Arteta aims to enhance the squad’s quality and depth for the upcoming season after the team narrowly missed out on the title last year.
As is typical for major English clubs during the transfer window, numerous potential Arsenal signings are being speculated.
Reports indicate that a new forward, midfielder, and defender are priorities, which explains the flurry of linked names.
It appears that Arsenal is particularly close to finalizing the acquisition of a new forward, with intentions to pay a significant release clause for their top target.
Arsenal is prepared to spend £49 million to acquire Nico Williams. According to CaughtOffside, they are willing to pay almost £50 million for Williams, following his impressive performances in the Euros for Spain.
There were initial concerns that Williams’ salary expectations might deter Arsenal.
With Chelsea also interested, it seemed Arsenal might miss out.
However, CaughtOffside reports that Arsenal is now ready to meet his release clause. While various clubs show interest, Arsenal and Chelsea are leading the chase.
Williams has made a significant impact at the Euros for Spain, contributing to their two victories so far and has been described as ‘unplayable’ in Germany, making him a fitting addition to Arsenal’s forward line.
Additionally, Arsenal is reportedly pursuing another Spaniard, Mikel Merino, with Mikel Arteta personally reaching out to him about a move to The Emirates.
