Mikel Arteta to receive support as two stars could join Arsenal
Arsenal are looking to make a serious move in the summer transfer window, with Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) and Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich) set to join Mikel Arteta’s side, according to Sky Sports.
Nico Williams and Leroy Sane linked with Arsenal
Arsenal will be very active during this year’s summer transfer window. The Gunners team needs reinforcements in several formations, especially in the attack line. The Gunners’ coach, Mikel Arteta, is counting on increasing the quality in this sector of the pitch. As reported by the British television station “Sky Sports”, the London club’s wish list includes two top names – Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao and Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich.
The first of the mentioned players would cost around 60 million euros, because that is how much his release clause is. The second player, on the other hand, can join the Premier League runner-up on a free transfer, because the star’s contract with the Bavarian giant is valid only until June 30, 2025. At this point, it is difficult to say whether the parties will finally bind themselves to a new contract. If not, Arsenal will be one of the favorites to acquire the 29-year-old German.
Nico Williams feels most at home as a left winger, while Leroy Sane usually plays on the right. The 22-year-old Spaniard is generating a lot of interest on the transfer market. The Athletic Bilbao star has long been linked with such giants as FC Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Chelsea. The European champion played 45 matches last season, scored 11 goals and made 7 assists, with the German attacker boasting 13 goals and 6 final passes in the same number of matches.
