It’s understood Arsenal are also keen on Williams and Mikel Arteta views the player as ‘one of his preferred options’ in attack for the summer transfer window. Williams distanced himself from rumours of a possible move last week and insisted he was ‘happy’ with Athletic Bilbao after agreeing to a new deal over the winter. ‘I am so happy in Bilbao, I signed a new deal and performed well last season. ‘Nico is very happy in Bilbao and in Athletic and has commented on this many times,’ Uriarte said.
