Arsenal would be ahead of Bayern Munich in the race to sign Nico Williams this summer.
Gunners need a refreshment in their offensive line in light of a 2024/25 campaign characterized by injuries and a gulf in goals between the men of Mikel Arteta and Liverpool.
The outfit based in northern London is second in the Premier League table, 12 points behind the Reds and 16 short goals (53) of the total of their competitor (69).
To this end, an upgrade in the form of a long -term target Nico Williams appears more than plausible in the next transfer window.
Arsenal is ahead of Bayern for the transfer of Nico Williams
Arsenal could very well compete with Bundesliga Giants Bayern for Williams Signature this summer.
The good news, however, with regard to the side of the Emirates stadium, is that they will have one step ahead of their European rivals.
The Bavarian giants will have to organize certain sales of players to facilitate any potential movement for the athletic winger of Bilbao.
“It is not true that Bayern Munich leads Nico Williams. I think that, for the moment, Williams is closer to a move to Arsenal than Bayern Munich, because the Bundesliga club cannot be as concrete as they would like because things are currently being held, ” Christian Falk informed the catch -up in his latest fact file column.
“Williams is still very high on the list in Bayern, but Max Eberl, sports manager, must first sell players. They want to sell Kingsley Coman (linked to Tottenham, Newcastle and Saudi Arabia). If they can manage this, they could take the money and use it to help sign Williams.
“Serge Gnabry is also on the list of courses, but no club is interested at the moment. So Bayern must wait and see if they can make a sale for Coman.”
Williams would instantly breed the Arsenal attack
There is no doubt that the line before Arsenal dropped the Gunners in 2024/25 in their hopes for the title of the Premier League.
Although there is a clear need to strengthen the options centrally – since Gabriel Jesus is incredibly subject to injuries and Kai Havertz is hardly a coherent scorer – the signature of Williams would be a step in the right direction.
By comparing the Spanish international to his potential competition in the English capital, Gabriel Martinelli, there is already a notable fracture.
The first, a year junior from Martinelli, is currently on average a contribution of objectives every 162.43 minutes, while the second is on a rate of a 227.27 minutes.
| Player | Goals | Aid | Minutes by objective contribution |
| Nico Williams | 9 | 7 | 162.43 |
| Gabriel Martinelli | 7 | 4 | 227.27 |
It is not surprising that sports director Andrea Berta would have been invited to concretize the agreement this summer.
