£51M attacker Arsenal wants – ‘is exceptional’ Mikel Arteta told ahead of potential move!
Wayne Rooney has compared ‘exceptional’ Arsenal and Barcelona target Nico Williams to all-time great Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Spain international, who has impressed at Euro 2024, has been linked with ARSENAL and other Premier League clubs after an impressive campaign at club level as many prepare to make offers for the winger at the end of Euros 2024.
Arsenal have been linked with a move for the lad – and as the Spanish prepare to take on England in the finals of Euros 2024 – Rooney has opened up and compared the talented winger to Ronaldo: ‘England will need to defend well on the flanks against Spain, because their brilliant two young wingers provide their main threat,’ he told The Times.
‘Lamine Yamal will be full of confidence after his brilliant goal against France and he reminds me a bit of how I was at Euro 2004 – a teenager having the time of his life.
‘Fear? Young lads like him, Nico Williams and Mainoo haven’t lived long enough to know it or understand what it is.
‘On the big stage of a European Championship they’re just playing and enjoying it and having fun, and normally that’s the best way to play the game.
‘Williams, for me, is exceptional. He reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo when Cristiano was young.
‘He’s a big lad, he’ll take the ball and sometimes tries too much but usually makes the right decisions.
‘He is an incredible threat in one-on-one situations and scores goals as well. England need to be really careful with him.’

Williams seems very happy at Bilbao – he has shown no real desire to want to leave the Spanish side – but if the right club comes calling – if the right amount of offer is made – Bilbao will change their stance.
But do ARSENAL need the lad?
