Juan Mata raves about really ‘quick’ player who Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to sign
Arsenal may have three players in action during tonight’s Euro 2024 final but Mikel Arteta is likely to have a keen eye on other stars involved too.
Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice will be hoping to lead England to glory while David Raya is unlikely to start after featuring just once at Euro 2024 so far.
Of course, Mikel Arteta will undoubtedly be cheering his home nation on but there are also a host of players who have been linked with a move to Arsenal set to feature.
Indeed, the likes of Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, Mikel Merino and Nico Williams could all play in Sunday’s final in Berlin, with the quartet reportedly on the Gunners’ radar this summer.
And one of Arsenal’s key transfer targets has received huge praise from former Chelsea and Manchester United star Juan Mata.

Mata raves about Arsenal target Nico Williams
It’s no secret that Arteta is eyeing attacking reinforcements this summer and Williams reportedly features high on the Arsenal boss’ wish list.
The Athletic Bilbao star has dazzled at Euro 2024, leading to interest from a host of top European clubs.
Now, Mata has become the latest to sing the winger’s praises while speaking on , suggesting that even Rio Ferdinand wouldn’t have been keen on facing Williams.
“He has been very, very dangerous in this Euros,” the former United man said. “I mean, Rio (Ferdinand) is a defender. I don’t think he will like to be one-against-one with him, he is so quick.
“He is probably the quickest in the team. He is so direct. He just puts the ball there and beats you. He has also improved a lot in his decision-making, which is difficult when you go at such speed. Very good, and he is only what 21, 22.”

Arteta wants Arsenal to sign Williams
Williams’ performances in Germany have only led to more interest from top sides and Arsenal face stern competition for his signature.
Barcelona are already discussing personal terms with Williams while the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been credited with an interest.
It’s been claimed that Williams is viewed by Arteta has his most desired attacking signing this summer and based on his ‘‘ displays in Germany, you could understand why the Gunners boss is desperate to land him.
The Spaniard would provide real quality depth out wide for Arteta after he’s struggled for options outside of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard over the past 18 months.
