Nico Williams team-mate speaks out as Arsenal close to completing £35m deal

Arsenal are bracing themselves for a potential exodus of young stars in the summer transfer window, with reports suggesting that Bukayo Saka’s teammates Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson could be on their way out of the club. The Gunners have had a disappointing campaign this season, failing to challenge for a top-four finish, and it seems that some of their most promising youngsters may not be part of Mikel Arteta’s long-term plans. Smith Rowe, who has been a regular feature in Arsenal’s midfield since making his debut in 2018, is reportedly attracting interest from several top European clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur. The 21-year-old has scored five goals and provided four assists in the Premier League this season, and his pace and creativity have been a significant asset to the team. Meanwhile, Nelson, who has struggled for game time under Arteta, is said to be considering a move away from the club in search of more regular football. The 22-year-old has scored six goals and provided two assists in all competitions this season, but his appearances have been limited due to competition from the likes of Saka, Smith Rowe, and Nicolas Pepe. Arsenal are likely to face stiff competition for their young stars, with several top clubs already showing interest. However, Mikel Arteta will be keen to hold onto at least some of his most promising players in a bid to rebuild the team for next season. The Gunners have already started making moves to strengthen their squad, with reports suggesting that they are closing in on a deal for Roma winger Nicola Zalewski. With a summer exodus potentially on the cards, Arsenal fans will be hoping that some of their most talented youngsters can be persuaded to stay and help the team move forward.
