“Nothing – try to improve” He said Arteta talks about what Arsenal can do to be more effective.
“You know, there are things we could have done better. We were unlucky in some moments. You need a certain amount of luck for the ball to bounce there. You need that intuition as well, and if not, we'll have to.” Generating more, that's the thing we can do, then the probability of winning will be higher for us, but certainly against this team to produce what we produced, and looking at the last six games I've watched, I haven't done that. I saw that but the score says 0-2 unfortunately.
“I think we kicked a lot of balls over the bar, and it was difficult because this ball flies a lot, and we discussed that as well. So there are details that we can do better. But in the end, it's over.” “You know, this is not a way back, this is about the next game, and this is the reality of our world.”
Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Neco Williams
It is believed that Arsenal are in the market for a goal-scoring winger To help them out in the final third, in place of the injured Saka, you can't do better than the Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams in this regard.
The Spain international finished 23/24 with 19 assists and eight goals in all competitions, and Williams has been reported as a target for Arsenal in the summer window.
However, £200,000 per week It appears that the winger has decided to stay in Bilbao, for this season at least, but that does not mean that a winter move is completely ruled out.
According to David Orenstein of The Athletic, Arteta personally wants Arsenal to sign Williams in Januarywith the 22-year-old also having a release clause of around £50m.
However, a summer move makes more sense, taking into account the total financial resources involved when calculating wages. Williams also doesn't want to leave Bilbao at the moment, so it looks like Arsenal will need to make an offer he can't refuse.
The Euro 2024 star has achieved more successes per 90 than any other Bilbao player in La Liga this season, and is tied with his brother Inaki in the number of shots he attempts per game (Who registered?).
