EXCL: Arsenal scout La Liga winger, Chelsea star's potential summer dilemma, new Real Madrid left-back target, Barca pact with wonderkid, and more
Today's exclusive column, featuring Arsenal, Chelsea, Barca, Real & much more!
Arsenal have scouted Nico Williams, plus what about those links with Khephren Thuram?
We’ve heard a lot about Arsenal wanting to sign a new midfielder in the summer, and one of the latest names being linked with them is Khephren Thuram of Nice. He’s a top talent and there’s also been some talk of interest from Liverpool and other big clubs before, but what’s the situation now?
My understanding is that it’s not something concrete so far, Arsenal have made no decision yet. I can still mention Martin Zubimendi and Douglas Luiz as names on their list, but we’ll have to wait and see who they decide to go for. There is currently no news also on Thuram as it will also depend on how much Nice will ask for him - his price tag has not been decided yet.
Arsenal have also sent their scouts to follow Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao multiple times, and it’s the same for Chelsea as they included him in the list last summer. The race is completely open, and nothing is advanced with either club so far. He’d be great in the Premier League in my opinion - a physical and technical player; very good one.
