Andrea Berta is ready to raid Laliga for talent this summer – with Nico Williams in his visor.
The new Arsenal Sporting Director is braced for a busy first few months in the work.
Italian Berta, 53, was appointed earlier this month as the successor to Edu.
And he is immediately working in planning a radical revision at the Emirates.
The former chef of Atletico Madrid reportedly met the representatives of Williams earlier this week.
It was one of Berta's first acts in his new role, where he has the task of making arsenal consistent title challengers.
According to the Guardian, Berta has set up a meeting with the agent of 22-year-old Felix Tainta.
Williams, a difficult and exciting winger, is a long -term objective for the Gunners.
He helped Bilbao to reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League this season and pay attention 8 times in 35 games.
Arsenal approached Bilbao during a movement last summer after Williams broke the hearts of England in the Euro 2024 final.
But they were told that the Spaniard wanted to stay in Laliga for at least another season.
Williams has a release clause of £ 48.4 million and the outlet claims that he insists on a movement.
Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are all ready to compete for Arsenal for his signature.
Berta did not waste time by getting his feet under the table in North Londs.
He has already prepared an exciting shortlist because he wants to offer Mikel Arteta a real NO9.
Arsenal -look is founded to finish second in the Premier League for a third consecutive season.
And their lack of depth in attacking areas is exposed by a busy injury room.
Isak seems to stay in the northeast, with Newcastle probably selling their appreciated property.
While Berta has also put Sporting Lisbon gyokeres on his wish list.
The former Coventry Forward is one of Europe's most sought after players after 42 goals in its last 42 games.
Arteta seemed cheerful when he discussed the coming transfer star for Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Fulham.
He said: “It will be a big one and we are very enthusiastic about it.
“When you go again, we want to increase the depth of the team and the quality and skills we need to go to the next step.
“Every summer is high because it is a chance and especially because of the number of players we now have in the team, that is necessary.
“But it is a big summer for many things, because we first have to maintain the good foundations that we have and then how clear how we can improve and evolve the team.”
