Emmanuel Petit advises Arsenal to pursue Nico Williams over Morgan Rogers

With Arsenal looking to strengthen their left wing, former midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged manager Mikel Arteta to target Spain's Nico Williams instead of Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers. Reports indicate Arsenal is interested in bolstering their attack, particularly amid speculation over Leandro Trossard's and Gabriel Martinelli's futures. While Rogers is a leading target, his high valuation complicates potential negotiations. Petit emphasized Williams' dribbling ability, stating he could significantly enhance the team if signed. Despite Williams signing a new contract with Athletic Bilbao, it reportedly includes a release clause around €100 million. However, ongoing injury concerns have limited Williams' appearances recently, raising questions about his immediate availability for a transfer.
