Arsenal had talks to sign 77 million pounds sterling “superstar” which is better than Williams

While the Premier leagueElite has spent money next to the bucket – Liverpool and Manchester City, we look at you – Arsenal were inactive.

Should we be surprised? Not really. During the last two transfer windows, the Gunners have failed to improve their line forward and their efforts to finally sign an attacker this summer has been unsuccessful.

Two names dominate the headlines with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gykerres at the forefront of their minds. The problem is that the two offers seem complicated.

Reports of Sky Germany suggests that Arsenal does not want to pay the requested price of RB Leipzig for Sesko, when he was claimed in Portugal a few days ago took a break to sign GyokerresRather by looking at Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.

The signing of a new central striker is not the only thing on the agenda for Andrea Berta this summer.

Arsenal hunting for a new winger

Due to a number of factors, mainly the workload of Bukayo Saka and the inconsistent form of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, Arsenal needs a new winger this summer.

Unfortunately, it now seems that it is unlikely that it is the feeling of Spanish from Bilbao, Nico Williams.

The Northern Londoners have been interested in the 22 -year -old for over a year now, but the wide striker rather favors a move to Barcelona, ​​his dream club.

Consequently, the parties interested in the form of Arsenal and Chelsea have “cooled” their interest In the words of David Ornstein of athletics.

With this cool blow in the mind, it seems that Arsenal has accelerated their efforts to sign the star of Real Madrid, Rodgrygo.

It is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who went to social networks on Tuesday afternoon to reveal that Mikel Arteta and Co have a “real interest” for the Brazilian.

Exploratory talks dating back to a kick have already taken place with the player’s representatives, but it will take costs of around 77 million pounds sterling to convince the Spanish giants to sell.

Madrid has a new manager in the form of Xavi Alonso and it seems that the former midfielder is not too passionate about Rodrygo. Therefore, Arsenal should do everything they can to convince the player to jump the ship.

How Rodrygo compares himself to Nico Williams

Williams was quickly put under the spotlight in the past year at the age of 21, he was one of the players of the tournament at Euro 2024 while his nation won the title.

The left winger was fabulous throughout, including the goal of opening in the final against England.

Since then, however, he has not really succeeded, even if the frightening potential is still hiding inside.

Williams has never been a crawling goalscorer, finding the net Only five times in the league this season.

Rodrygo, on the other hand, would be able to offer Arteta the additional goals he needs his team to produce if they want to challenge for the title and the Champions League.

Last season, Martinelli and Trossard managed to score only 16 goals Between them in the 73 Premier League games in which they presented. Well, In his own Laliga gamesRodrygo has a better record than the two players combined, marking 20 times.

While 2024/25 was not his best campaign, pushed the right side to welcome Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, he is a player who is much more comfortable in front of the goal than someone like Martinelli, and above all, Williams too.

You just have to reject your mind until 2022/23 when the Brazil superstar I found the net 19 timesImproving the best transport of the Martinelli season of 15, which came by chance in the same campaign.

Another rope with Rodrygo’s arc is not only its versatility – capable of playing in front or on the side – but its creativity.

Analyzing the data, Williams is also a particularly creative individual, prospering in this area more than his scorer.

However, Arsenal is still competent chances of chances. What they need is someone capable of sticking the ball at the back of the net and Rodrygo has done it much more regularly in all competitions since 2022 than Martinelli, Trossard and Williams.

The last quarter, no player in red and white has reached double figures for goals. Kai Havertz was their top scorer with 15 And they put an end to the countryside with Mikel Merino playing as a makeshift attacker.

On this proof, Arsenal needs a center-forward, but they also need more contributions from elsewhere on the ground. Madrid’s “world class superstar”, as described by his teammate Luka Modricwould certainly help in this regard.
