Emmanuel Petit Urges Arsenal to Sign Nico Williams for Summer Boost
Former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit has expressed his desire for the Gunners to secure the services of Athletic Bilbao’s winger, Nico Williams, in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 21-year-old Spanish international has been described as ‘fast’ and ‘powerful’ by Petit, who believes Williams would be a perfect fit for Arsenal.
With five goals and ten assists already this season, Williams has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham. Petit highlighted Williams’ ability to play on both wings, his skillful dribbling, and his knack for taking on defenders as reasons why he would be a valuable addition to any team.
Arsenal, who are in the market for a new winger to complement Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, have been linked with a move for Williams. Despite interest in other players like Pedro Neto from Wolves, Arsenal may prioritize signing Williams due to his impressive performances in La Liga.
Petit also mentioned the possibility of Arsenal signing both Williams and Ivan Toney, but emphasized the importance of having competition for Martinelli and Saka in the striker position. With Arsenal’s young squad in need of reinforcements, Petit believes that Williams could provide the attacking spark that the team needs.
As the transfer window approaches, Arsenal fans will be eagerly waiting to see if their club can secure the signature of Nico Williams and potentially strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season. With Petit’s endorsement and Williams’ impressive performances in Spain, Arsenal could be on the verge of making a significant summer signing that could boost their chances of success in the Premier League.
