🚨 OFFICIAL: NICO WILLIAMS TO ARSENAL: 🚨100% CONFIRMED! 💥 €75M DONE DEAL, Medical Done ✅ | 🇪🇸⚡#AFC

Arsenal fans, the wait is over! Nico Williams is officially a Gunner. The deal was closed and sealed in the last 24 hours, with Arsenal paying Athletic Bilbao a guaranteed fee of €45m plus €5m in add-ons.

Williams has signed a five-year contract with Arsenal, keeping him at the Emirates until June 2028, with an option for an additional year. He passed his medical tests with flying colors and will wear the number 11 shirt.

Mikel Arteta played a crucial role in convincing Williams to join Arsenal, and the player is expected to join the squad for pre-season training next week. Arsenal beat competition from Liverpool and Chelsea to secure Williams' signature.

Williams' arrival is part of Arsenal's attacking overhaul, with the club still in the market for a striker. Victor Osimhen remains a top target, but Athletic Bilbao is reluctant to sell.

Arsenal's summer spending now exceeds €100m with this deal, showing real ambition in the transfer market. The official announcement is expected in the next 24-48 hours, with Arsenal's media team preparing a special unveiling video.

Williams will be integrated gradually into the first team, with Arteta planning to use him as an impact sub initially before potentially starting Premier League games. His versatility and pace were key factors in Arsenal's pursuit.
