Athletic Club Bilbao is unlikely to let him leave for cheap. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are willing to break the Bank for him. They need a quality winger like him, and he could transform them in the final third. Williams will add explosive pace, trickery, and goals to the side.
The opportunity to join Arsenal will be exciting for him as well. It would be a major step up in his career. The report claims that Barcelona and Arsenal are the two clubs that appeal the most to the player.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Williams up for grabs in summer
Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United have recently been informed by intermediaries of the player’s availability. However, the asking price is likely to deter potential buyers. It will be interesting to see whether the Spanish outfit is willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable fee.
Williams has been a key player for them, and his departure would be a blow. They will look to recoup as much as possible from his sale so that they can improve multiple areas of the squad.
The attacker has 35 goals and 36 assists in La Liga so far, and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well.
