Arsenal anticipate interest in 21-year-old La Liga star, club expects summer sale to happen
Nico Williams is undoubtedly one of the brightest talents in the League. The 21-year-old Athletic Club forward has been in sensational form over the past 12 months, which has seen him become a regular for the Spanish national team under coach Luis de la Fuente.
Chances are Williams will be heading to Germany with La Roja for Euro 2024, and this could be the start of a big summer for him. Not only could he be competing at the major tournament, he could also be on the move, with clubs lining up to sign him from Athletic.
A number of Premier League clubs have been linked to Williams in the end, and given that his release clause is only 50 million euros, the probability is that this will be activated in the summer. Arsenal they seem to be the best place to sign him, since El Chiringuito have stated that they have recently stepped up their interest.

The report also notes that Athletic Club they expect to lose Williams this summer, as they are aware that his release clause is very achievable for clubs interested in signing him. Losing him would certainly be a big blow, although the money generated would significantly help Ernesto Valverde strengthen his squad.
