Arsenal have been handed a big boost in signing Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams during the summer transfer window.
The Spain international is one of the best wide players in La Liga and he has been tipped to pursue a bigger challenge soon.
Barcelona are long-term admirers of the attacker alongside Arsenal, but they have withdrawn their interest ahead of the summer, as per Spanish outlet Sport.
The news is a huge boost for the Gunners, who have been monitoring the highly-rated star for the last 18 months or so.
Arsenal were not in a position to trigger his £48 million release clause last summer amid PSR issues, but won’t face the same this year.
The Gunners have plenty of leeway after a second year in the Champions League and are expected to spend big money in the market.
Aside from a wide attacker, the Gunners are poised to sign a marquee striker, a defensive midfielder and a back-up goalkeeper.
