In one of the summer’s most discussed transfer sagas, Spanish winger Nico Williams has now disclosed why he rejected high-paying offers from *Liverpool* and *Barcelona* in order to join *Arsenal* — and it was all because of a meaningful connection in North London.

 

During his introductory press conference, Williams spoke about the tough choice he faced and identified the *Arsenal* teammate who was instrumental in persuading him to make the move to the Emirates.

 

“*Liverpool and Barcelona both came with very good offers*,” Williams acknowledged. “*I spoke to people at both clubs, and honestly, it was tempting. But there’s one person at Arsenal I couldn’t turn my back on.*”

 

Without keeping supporters in suspense, Nico shared the name of the individual who influenced his choice.

 

“*That person is Bukayo Saka,*” he stated, smiling. “*We’ve been close for years since we met during international youth tournaments, and the bond just grew stronger from there. I didn’t want anything that would jeopardize our friendship. I spoke to him a lot about life at Arsenal, the team, Mikel Arteta’s vision — and his words meant everything to me.*”

 

Williams further admitted the decision was challenging, considering the stature of the other clubs pursuing him.

 

“*I hope I won’t regret my decision later,*” he said. “*Because those other teams are huge, but in the end, loyalty and friendship matter a lot to me. I feel like I’ll be at home here with Bukayo and the rest of the team.*”

 

The Spanish winger’s signing has already stirred excitement among *Arsenal* fans, many of whom are eager to witness how his link-up with *Saka* might flourish in the *Premier League* next season.

 

Coach *Mikel Arteta* also commented on the acquisition: “*Nico is a player we’ve admired for a long time. His qualities suit our style perfectly, and having someone like Bukayo here to help integrate him makes this even more special.*”

 

With *Liverpool* and *Barcelona* walking away empty-handed, *Arsenal* supporters will be hopeful that this bond, both on and off the pitch, brings memorable moments in the upcoming seasons.
