Athletic Bilbao winger and Arsenal target Nico Williams has commented on his future, stating that he does not want to discuss it until after Euro 2024.
Williams is one of Spain’s standout players and focuses on helping his national team prepare for the upcoming tournament.
Arsenal has been tracking him closely over the last season, recognising his potential to boost their attacking options significantly.
The Gunners experienced issues with their wingers, as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli struggled on occasions last season. Mikel Arteta lacked adequate alternatives to give Saka the necessary rest during his slump in form in the second half of the season.
Williams could provide the needed depth and quality, enabling better rotation and reducing the burden on key players like Saka. However, despite Arsenal’s interest, Williams has made it clear that he is not considering any transfers, prioritising his commitment to the national team for now.
He said, as quoted by Metro Sport: ‘I am very happy at Athletic.
‘It is the club that has given me everything, it is the club that has bet on me 100 per cent. I am very happy in Bilbao and that is what I have to say.
‘I have it quite clear. Athletic is my home, I am very happy and what I want to do is focus on the Euros, which is very important because if you are not 100 per cent in a competition like this, it will pass you by and the rest, I do not know what is going to happen.
‘I have told my representatives that I do not want to know anything until the Euros is over. I am 100 per cent focused and my desire is to win the Euros.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Every good player wants to focus on helping their countries at Euro 2024, and we can understand why Williams wants to do the same.
After the competition, there will be time to sort out a move for him if we remain interested.

Bakayoko’s the best goal scoring winger.Dribbler,pacy and unstoppable.
I keep on saying that our problem is that we get linked to almost “every player” in the transfer window and by the end of it, little to show off. Talk less and do more
in fairness Edu/Arteta are not doing the nonsense talk
the endless names linked with Arsenal, and every other club by the way, is because us fans lap it up!
i disappoint myself clicking on rumours of a player who is never ever joining Arsenal, but while i do then they will continue pumping out the tripe, easy money!
Problem lies with with those people who are linking, even those who support Arsenal they lied to us daily so we can read their news
I’ve made up my mind to ignore all the talk about player transfers to Arsenal. I’ll wait until the new season starts to find out who’s coming in and who’s going out.
He’s a good player at the wing to gv saka challenges n bring the best out if the 2s.we. Need to discuss of poor man aging of our academy players, why arteta refuse to Inject them in the first team n our best acedemy players de cide to go to another club n become stars, I think arteta is at fault for not believing or not trust them Instead priotise other club’s 20,21 years Players.Chido Obi-Martin is a good example here who is ready to leave for bayern and latter the guy become young prospect in their team this show poor handling of our
acedemy players that an
and their future bleak.They shld do every possible best to retain him
