Arsenal need to have a big summer transfer window.
Indeed, Arsenal are set to fall short in the Premier League again this season, and they need to remedy that situation by making the right signings in the summer.
Arsenal have been linked with a number of exciting potential additions already.
Martin Zubimendi has agreed personal terms with Arsenal already, while Benjamin Sesko is likely to sign for Arsenal according to some.
Nico Williams has been linked to Arsenal recently, and according to Christian Falk, writing for The Daily Briefing, Williams is more likely to join Arsenal than Bayern Munich this summer.
Bayern Munich had been linked to Williams, but it appears as though Arsenal are leading this race.

Nico Williams more likely to join Arsenal than Bayern Munich
Falk shared what he knows about Williams and where he’s likely to end up next season.
The journalist says that the £50m man is more likely to head to Arsenal than Bayern Munich, but the German giants are keen on the Spaniard.
“Not True: Bayern Munich are in the lead for Nico Williams.” Falk wrote.
“I think, at the moment, Williams is closer to a move to Arsenal than Bayern Munich, as the Bundesliga club can’t be as concrete as they would like as things currently stand. Williams is still very high on the list at Bayern, but Max Eberl, head of sport, has to sell players first.
“They want to sell Kingsley Coman (linked to Tottenham, Newcastle and Saudi Arabia). If they can manage this, they could take the money and use it to help sign Williams.
‘Serge Gnabry is also on the for-sale list, but no club is interested at the moment. So, Bayern have to wait and see if they can make a sale for Coman.”
Nico Williams’ record alongside Martin Zubimendi
It appears as though Arsenal may do a fair bit of shopping in the Basque region this summer.
Indeed, Williams could arrive from Athletic Club, while Arsenal are set to raid Real Sociedad again and bring in Martin Zubimendi.
Of course, Williams and Zubimendi know one another well from their time with the Spanish national team.
Both players were on the pitch in the final of Euro 2024 as Spain beat England, and their overall record together is stellar.

| Losses | 1 |

Zubimendi and Williams have already proven to be a winning combination on the international scene, and they could carry that success over to club level if both men end up at Arsenal this summer.
