From the source
Arsenal made a strong effort to sign Nico Williams, but the Gunners were unable to convince the Spanish winger to leave Athletic Club. The attacker has continued to attract interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, yet he remains committed to staying with his boyhood side.
Arsenal reportedly pursued Williams during the summer transfer windows of 2024 and 2025, hoping to persuade him to continue his career in England. However, the winger has shown a strong attachment to his hometown club and has so far preferred to remain in Spain rather than accept a move abroad.
Williams has established himself as an important player for Athletic Club and Spain, attracting attention with his performances and attacking ability. His loyalty has made negotiations difficult for interested clubs, with Arsenal far from the only team to explore the possibility of signing him.
