The summer transfer window really isn’t all that far away.

Indeed, we’re into the business end of the season, and while there’s still plenty t🐲o play for on the 🅷pitch, clubs are starting to plan for their summer transfer business.

One team who has a big summer ahead of them is Arsenal.

Indeed, Arsenal need a few big signings this summ💮er as they look to pus🍨h to end their Premier League title drought.

Arsenal want a new striker in the summer, and Alexander Isak is a dream target.

However, it’ཧs not just a new striker that Arsenal are after.

Arsenal are also in for a new midfielder – Martin Zubimendi has ag♕reed personal terms with Arse☂nal and a move in the summer looks likely.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are also in for a new winger.

Rafael Leao has been linked to Arsenal, while Nico Williams is expected to join Arsenal this summer according to some reports.

Williams to Arsenal is apparently advanced, but, as ever, a deal isn’t done until a contract is sig🌺ned, and now, a spanner has been thrown into the works.

Bayern Munich want Nico Williams

According to Christian Falꦕk, Bayern Munich are keen to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club this summer.

The German giants ar♉e in the market for a new 💝winger this summer, and, interestingly Leroy Sane has been linked to Arsenal.

Falk also noted that Arsenal are still in talks with William⛎s, but, as ever, Baye𓄧rn Munich’s presence here could complicate things.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Bayern and Arsenal have gone head to head over a sigꦕning of this calibre.

Bayern Munich wanted Declan Rice before his move to Arsenal, while Arsenal wanted Joao Palhinha before his move to Bavaria.

Nico Williams stats this season

Wiliams is a man in demand in the upcoming summer transfer window, as big clubs are courting the Spanish wing𓆉er.

Williams had an incredible Euro 2024, but this seas🐻on, his performances haven’t quite been at the same level.

Indeed, Williams has been way off his bﷺest this season, scoring just four goals all year long.

Arsenal have been keen on Willi🌊ams for a long time, but, when you consider his form this season so far, it’s hard to say that the Gunners would be devastated if Williams picked Bayern Munich over Arsenal.

There are plenty more fish in the sea for Arsenal this summer, and spending £5ღ0m on a player who has only scored four goals all season long isn’t necessarily the best move the ꧑Gunners could make in any case.

Williams is certainly a player to keep an eye on in this summer transf🌞er win𝓀dow.
