Williams transfer update
Arsenal continue to be linked with a transfer for Athletic Club star Nico Williams. Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in the Spain international, with it a real possibility he seals a switch ahead of the 2025/26 season.
According to Sport, Barcelona intend to resume talks with the 22-year-old but do not want the saga to be dragged out as it was last summer.

The report adds that if financial problems do emerge, they will not pursue a deal and will notify him if that is the case. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has previously spoken about Williams, with it clear he is a big fan. The situation in the Championship is getting tense, especially for Leeds United. Their promotion hopes are still within reach, but it feels more precarious than ever.
However, with just one win in their last six outings, it’s hard not to feel the weight of that challenge.

After the draw with Luton, Leeds manager Daniel Farke remained upbeat, emphasizing that securing a point away from home is valuable.
