    He was holding out for Barcelona, but there he will just be backup to Raphinha, at Arsenal, he could’ve been a legend.

      Not sure, they are probably going to try having Raphinha more central as he played a bit earlier in 24/25. Lewandowski isn’t getting younger.

      He also said he preferred to stay in Spain, and based on the chemistry with the other Spanish players during the Euro, it makes sense that he gave Barça the priority.

        Seems they’re now looking at Gyökeres, which means that Williams is really heading there just to warm bench.

          Interesting, I thought he was going to the Premier League

            He will likely end up in the Prem, but the fact that Barcelona are sniffing around should be a cause for worry for Williams

              Isn’t Williams a winger, and Gyokeres a striker?

                Yes, but Raphinha plays left wing and has just had the best season of any left winger in the world. Gyökeres will mean that Raphinha has to play left wing for minutes and we all know Yamal will start on the right.
