Speaking to Bet365, Emmanuel Petit said: “Arsenal’s dream signing this summer would be Nico Williams.
“I’ve been watching him in Spain with his club, but he has impressed me a lot during Euro 2024, especially against Italy.
“It was a nightmare for the right back. I think he could have a huge impact at Arsenal. This guy has all the character he needs to thrive.”
Arsenal have been after the likes of Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko this summer but the Gunners are yet to make any first-team signing.
Athletic Bilbao’s Williams has caught Mikel Arteta’s eye with his incredible Euro 2024 displays and the two clubs are now believed to be talking.
