Nico Williams to Arsenal: I don’t know about you, but I suddenly (after watching the Gergia versus Spain game) feel like that’s a transfer move Arsenal needs to complete. When we discussed this transfer not long ago, I harboured doubts due to reports indicating that the player’s sole desire was to join Barcelona. Even if our efforts to convince him to join succeeded, his wage demands were considered excessively high.
However, while playing on Europe’s biggest stage of international football, the European Championship, Williams has consistently silenced naysayers with his high-quality performances.
You can’t talk about this year’s Euros without mentioning the deadly Spanish wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Williams delivered another headline-grabbing performance on Sunday night, guiding Spain to a 4-1 comeback victory over Georgia to book Spain’s spot in the quarterfinals.
Aside from a goal and an assist, Williams’ game stats versus Georgia are as follows:
Nico Williams’ game by numbers vs. Georgia:
100% pass accuracy (46/46)
10 touches in opp. box
8 crosses
4 chances created
4 shots
4 duels won
3 take-ons completed
2 shots on target
1 goal
1 assist
Nico Williams is the winger you’d love to have on your squad. When he gets going, he’s so direct and fearless. He has a release clause of around £47 million, but I would literally break the bank to have him at Arsenal. What do you think?

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

He’d most likely ask for a huge salary to guarantee his place in our starting line-up, so I think Arsenal won’t sign him
Fabrizio Romano never said anything about Arsenal and Williams. He just said Arsenal have been monitoring Joao Neves for months, who could be our N’golo Kante
I bet Chelsea thought the same when they paid a $100m for Enzo Fernandes
I agree he would cost a lot, and I suspect he would demand lots of playing time.
But, who would he replace, Martinelli?
We have to be VERY careful who we buy in this window.
We were almost there last season, so we cannot afford to go backwards by bringing in just “good” players!!
We need top top players, and they will cost a lot of money.
Should we spend all of our capital on Williams?
I think we need that left sided DM first
If we are any serious, both the L.B and L.w needs upgrading. Add a D.M and we are are good to go.
Agreed, he is a great player. But there are reports that his wage demands are very high and Arsenal might have to break their wage structure if they sign him. However, if a middle ground is reached and arsenal sign him than he would be a fantastic addition to the squad and since he can play on both wings, Saka would get lot of rest and rotation as Saka is completely overloaded by playing almost the entire season without rest.
I think the guy is overrated for the price and his reported wage demands. I’ll rather we have Bakayoko of psv, I watched him a few time and I think k he beats William in my opinion. And I wouldn’t use Georgia game to judge his performance, what of the previous games he has featured in?
