Despite getting an impressive 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon, they retain English Premier League Title ambitions alive, it would be fair to say this season was not going to plan arsenal.
Mikel Arteta The side have not been as devastatingly effective as they were in the latter half of last season, and the fact that Bukayo fromwho has been out of work for over a month now, He has more than one target involvement Everyone else on the team is a testament to that.
It's no wonder then that fans are clamoring for the club to add a new striker to the squad this month, whether it's a clinical figure or a dangerous wide player.
Fortunately, recent reports have linked the club with the latter, and the player in question will be a Dream teammate of Saka.
Divisional wing hunting arsenal
According to Latest report from SpainArsenal have maintained their keen interest in Bilbao starlet Neco Williams.
Move focus
Big money trades, controversial moves and big name flops. This is the home of football news and opinion via fancast.
The report revealed that although Barcelona are desperate to sign the Spaniard, and Bilbao want to keep him this season, his future appears to be completely out of Spain, with the club's recruitment team now “willing to pay his release clause”.
According to the story, this release clause is €50 million, which converts to around £42 million.
It's certainly money to spend on a young winger, but given Williams' ability and potential, it would probably be worth it, especially as he would be a Dream teammate for Saka.
Why Williams would be a dream for Saka
Okay, so there are a few reasons why Williams would be an ideal teammate for Saka, and the first is relatively simple: getting him out.
Now, it's true that this campaign has been somewhat less impressive than the last, as after 29 games, the Bilbao star has only collected… Three goals and five assistsbut we know from last season that the 22-year-old can be a directing machine.
For example, in just 37 matches, the “destructive” winger, A.S Described by Emmanuel Petitand scored Eight goals and 19 assistswhich comes out to an impressive average of goal shares every 1.37 games.

Just imagine how many more goals the Gunners' number seven will score or assist with another incredibly dangerous winger on the opposite flank like the young Spaniard.
This ties into the second reason why the Bilbao star would be a great partner for The Englishman, which is his direct command.
For example, According to FBREFwhich compares players in similar positions across Europe's five leagues, the Champions League and the Europa League, the Pamplona-born star sits in the top 4% of midfielders and forwards for successful possessions and 6% for progressive carries per 90.
Hopefully this will help the North Londoners be more effective and direct down the left side, which in turn should free up more space for the Hill End icon on the right, as opposition defenders have to focus their attention on both sides.
Finally, with help in Bilbao Copa del Rey final last season Then a winner in the Euro final against England, obviously 24 covered international is A big game player with an elite mentality, which will help not only Saka, but the entire team.
Ultimately, Arsenal need attacking reinforcements, and while he is still young, Williams has already shown that he has what it takes to be an elite winger, so KSE and CO must do everything they can to bring him to the N5 this month.
