It is no secret that Mikel Arteta is looking to add some more quality to his ARSENAL attack when the transfer window opens up and is keen to bolster his squad with another winger – to help cove injuries etc.
But clubs will have to match his €55m release clause in order to get a deal done, That is according to Marca, who reports the Basque club will demand the full payment of William’s release clause of €55m,
in an interview with Give Me Sport, journalist Dean Jones recently urged Arsenal to make a move for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams this summer, although he could cost close to £100 million to sign from the Spanish side.
Jones said: “There are a few rumours going around on social media about Rafael Leao being an ARSENAL target. While it does make sense in some way, I just cannot see this coming through.
“I can believe his style of play is something Arsenal would love to add to the mix. His characteristics fit with the fact they want to find a new wide option and he is direct and exciting, but he has a high release clause
“Even though that won’t be met by anyone, you are still looking at a £100million player. I don’t sense that Arsenal will go that high, and I’m not sure I really see the player on the move yet.
“If we are to look for a signing from abroad, I think a player like Nico Williams would make more sense.”
