Arsenal have been handed a boost this summer, with Barcelona reportedly dropping out of the race to sign Nico Williams.
Williams has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe after impressing in Spain's Euros triumph last summer.
The 22-year-old has continued to shine this season for Athletic Bilbao, who sit fourth in LaLiga and are chasing Europa League glory.
Arsenal will bolster their attack ahead of next season, having seen a shortage of forwards derail their title charge this term.
Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge admirer of Williams, while Barcelona explored a move for the winger last summer.
