Manchester United legend compares Arsenal target to Cristiano Ronaldo

Nico Williams is one of the stars of Euro 2024, and his form is a key reason why Spain could win the competition on Sunday.

The Athletic Bilbao winger has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months as one of the finest attackers in Europe.

The Gunners are keen to add him to their squad after watching him deliver top performances for Spain at the Euros.

They have been doing their homework on him, and when he leaves Germany, they might accelerate their interest in his signature.

Wayne Rooney has followed the Spaniard at the Euros and insists he reminds him of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rooney and Ronaldo were teammates at Manchester United, and the former England star can see some similarities between Williams and the Portugal captain.

He said, as quoted by Metro Sport:

‘Williams, for me, is exceptional. He reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo when Cristiano was young.

‘He’s a big lad, he’ll take the ball and sometimes tries too much but usually makes the right decisions.

‘He is an incredible threat in one-on-one situations and scores goals as well. England need to be really careful with him.’

Just Arsenal Opinion

Williams being compared to Ronaldo is a huge praise, and the attacker will truly be a superb addition to our squad if we sign him this summer.
