Chelsea and Arsenal show interest in Nico Williams

Spanish winger Nico Williams, a breakout star from last year, has attracted attention from several top clubs, including some in England.

Details: According to The Athletic insider David Ornstein, Chelsea and Arsenal are seriously exploring the possibility of signing Athletic Bilbao's winger Nico Williams.

Mikel Arteta is reportedly eager to complete the transfer in January, but financially, it seems unlikely. Williams' release clause is set at €58 million, and factoring in his salary, the deal becomes even more challenging.

Recently, Chelsea has also been linked with a move for a central defender this month. Discussions within the club are centered on acquiring Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace.

Reminder. Last season, Chelsea’s center-back Wesley Fofana missed a significant portion of the campaign due to injuries, and it seems the situation is repeating itself.

According to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, Fofana is likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to injury.
