'I get distracted easily': Nico Williams addresses Arsenal transfer speculation

Nico Williams is enjoying his time in the Euro 2024, putting up some blistering performances for Spain.

Williams' electrifying skills have attracted attention from a host of Premier League sides - Arsenal included.

The 21-year-old attacker has, however, refused to comment about his future. He wishes to wait until the Euro is over before making a decision.

Amid strong links to Arsenal, Williams told AS: "My brother [Athletic Bilbao team-mate Inaki Williams] is a very important person for me. He has lived a similar situation to mine.

"He has also had offers from outside Athletic, but I said that I didn’t want to know anything about what comes from outside, about signings or stories.

"I don’t like to know because I get distracted easily.

"I prefer to focus on one thing and go for it. Because if one thing or another comes to me, in the end my head doesn’t work very well."

Williams didn't completely rule out a transfer, adding: "My agent, my parents and my family know me perfectly and they know that I don’t want to hear anything [about transfers] until the Euros are over."
