Latest updates : Nico Williams to Arsenal’s here we go

Latest Arsenal Update, Nico Williams transfer bombshell

Barcelona have made a huge transfer decision in the race to sign Athletic Club star Nico Williams.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked to the Spanish winger, though Barcelona president Joan Laporta is confident the club can afford his release clause €60million (£51m).

Speaking to Catalunya Radio, Laporta said: “Economically speaking, we could commit to the signing of Nico Williams.

“Nico’s a player I like, I like him a lot. We are working with [coach Hansi] Flick on possible signings. Now we have to leave [sporting director] Deco to close the operations we are working on.

“Shortly we will be able to announce some good news with regard to the financial [issues] and we will be back within La Liga’s Fair Play limits. And that will allow further good news in terms of [signings].”
