In the upcoming months, the Gunners hope to begin a fresh title assault, and Williams has been identified as a crucial transfer target.
Williams has a lengthy history with Barcelona, but if the appropriate challenge arises, he is reportedly willing to moving to England.
Since the 22-year-old’s €58 million release clause in Bilbao is still in effect, Arsenal has been following him for more than a year.

An offer might be made in the midseason window if Williams’ representation approve it, with Athletic Club expected to seek his whole contract.
According to earlier reports, Athletic Club is anticipating an offer with Norwich City attacker Borja Sainz in the running to take his spot.
In 2020, Williams made his debut for Spain’s under-18 team, scoring two goals in four games.
He was then selected for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he played four games, making one start, as Morocco defeated Spain in a round of 16 penalty shootout.
