The 22-year-old, whose dazzling runs and flair lit up La Liga last season, was heavily linked with Arsenal and Barcelona, but Bilbao\u2019s bold move has slammed the door on those hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams\u2019 decision to stay isn\u2019t just a win for the Basque club\u2019s loyal supporters; it\u2019s a statement of intent. In a world where young stars often chase the bright lights of the Premier League or La Liga giants, Williams\u2019 commitment to his boyhood club feels like a throwback to a bygone era. Expect him to keep tormenting defenses with his pace and trickery, all while wearing Bilbao\u2019s iconic red and white stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 Nico Williams has revealed that his decision to stay at Athletic Club was guided by emotion, choosing loyalty over ambition \u2764\ufe0f<br \/><br \/>The talented star turned down an offer from Spanish champions Barcelona, who were keen to bring him in as they aim to challenge for the Champions\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mn2l6sJShy\">pic.twitter.com\/mn2l6sJShy<\/a><\/p>\r\n\u2014 365Scores (@365Scores) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/365Scores\/status\/1941210865300041961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"myles-lewis-skelly-commits-to-arsenal\">Myles Lewis-Skelly Commits to Arsenal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Over in North London, Arsenal have secured one of their brightest academy gems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/myles-lewis-skelly-134841\">Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a>, with a new long-term deal. The 18-year-old versatile midfielder, who can also slot in at left-back, has been turning heads with his composure and tenacity. Mikel Arteta\u2019s faith in youth is no secret, and Lewis-Skelly\u2019s extension signals that he\u2019s seen as a cornerstone of Arsenal\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His ability to break up play and launch attacks from deep makes him a perfect fit for Arteta\u2019s high-pressing system. Gunners fans are already buzzing about the prospect of Lewis-Skelly forming a dynamic midfield partnership with another new signing (more on that later). For now, this contract is a promise that Arsenal\u2019s academy conveyor belt is still churning out stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rumoured\">Rumoured<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"javi-guerra-to-manchester-united\">Javi Guerra to Manchester United?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The rumor mill is spinning at Old Trafford, where Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Valencia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/javi-guerra-106303\">Javi Guerra<\/a>. The 22-year-old midfielder, known for his silky passing and relentless work rate, could be the answer to United\u2019s midfield woes. With Casemiro\u2019s legs showing signs of wear and tear, Guerra\u2019s youth and dynamism would bring fresh energy to a squad desperate to climb back into the Champions League places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valencia\u2019s financial troubles might force their hand, but United will need to move fast to fend off interest from other European clubs. Guerra\u2019s potential arrival could be the spark needed to ignite a revival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2219334995-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Transfer news: BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA - JUNE 09: Javi Guerra of Spain poses for a portrait ahead of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 on June 09, 2025 in Bratislava, Slovakia. \" class=\"wp-image-10433\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Tullio Puglia &#8211; UEFA\/UEFA via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jadon-sanchos-italian-adventure\">Jadon Sancho\u2019s Italian Adventure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/jadon-sancho-51237\">Jadon Sancho\u2019s<\/a> rollercoaster ride at Manchester United might be nearing its final loop, with Juventus emerging as a serious suitor. The 25-year-old winger, whose fallout with Erik ten Hag made headlines, has struggled to recapture the form that made him a superstar at Borussia Dortmund. Juventus, looking to bolster their attack under new boss Thiago Motta, see Sancho as a potential game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talks are reportedly advancing, with a \u00a325 million deal on the table and the possibility of a swap involving Douglas Luiz. Sancho\u2019s flair and creativity could thrive in Serie A\u2019s slower tempo, but United fans will wonder what might have been if he\u2019d been given a clean slate. For now, Turin is calling, and Sancho seems ready to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deals-in-the-works-progressing-with-purpose\">Deals in the Works: Progressing with Purpose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mohammed-kudus-to-tottenham-a-match-made-in-heaven\">Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham: A Match Made in Heaven?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tottenham are pushing hard to land West Ham\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/mohammed-kudus-60311\">Mohammed Kudus<\/a>, and this one feels like it\u2019s gathering steam. The Ghanaian forward, who dazzled with his dribbling and goal-scoring nous last season, is the kind of marquee signing Spurs need to signal their ambition under new manager Thomas Frank. West Ham rejected a \u00a350 million bid from Tottenham, holding out for \u00a360 million, but negotiations are heating up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kudus\u2019 versatility to play across the front line would give Spurs a dynamic edge, especially with Son Heung-min needing support in the goal-scoring department. West Ham\u2019s need to sell due to financial regulations could tip the scales, but Chelsea are lurking, ready to pounce. If Tottenham pull this off, expect Kudus to become a fan favorite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Talks between Tottenham and West Ham are underway for the signing of Mohammed Kudus!<br \/><br \/>The Ghanaian is keen for an new challenge and is open to joining Spurs this summer. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/E0HG0nNpP7\">pic.twitter.com\/E0HG0nNpP7<\/a><\/p>\r\n\u2014 365Scores (@365Scores) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/365Scores\/status\/1940304558636593382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 2, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noni-madueke-to-arsenal-a-capital-coup\">Noni Madueke to Arsenal: A Capital Coup?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal are edging closer to a surprise move for Chelsea\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/noni-madueke-73449\">Noni Madueke<\/a>, with talks progressing for a \u00a340-50 million deal. The 23-year-old winger, who impressed with seven goals and three assists in the Premier League last season, is open to crossing the capital divide to join Mikel Arteta\u2019s project. Chelsea\u2019s crowded forward line, bolstered by new signings, has pushed Madueke down the pecking order, making this a potential bargain for the Gunners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His direct style and ability to cut in from the right would add depth to Arsenal\u2019s attack, especially with Bukayo Saka needing competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"confirmed-moves-done-and-dusted\">Confirmed Moves: Done and Dusted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamie-bynoe-gittens-joins-chelseas-revolution\">Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Joins Chelsea\u2019s Revolution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s summer spending spree continues with the \u00a355 million capture of Borussia Dortmund\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/jamie-gittens-110380\">Jamie Bynoe-Gitten<\/a>s. The 20-year-old winger, a former England U21 star, brings pace, flair, and a knack for cutting in from the left. Enzo Maresca\u2019s attacking overhaul is in full swing, and Bynoe-Gittens\u2019 seven-year contract signals long-term ambition. His arrival, alongside other new faces, has Chelsea fans dreaming of a return to the Premier League\u2019s summit. With a medical completed during the Club World Cup in the U.S., Bynoe-Gittens is ready to hit the ground running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"joao-pedro-bolsters-chelseas-firepower\">Joao Pedro Bolsters Chelsea\u2019s Firepower<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea aren\u2019t stopping there, with Brighton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/joao-pedro-67143\">Joao Pedro<\/a> also joining in a \u00a355 million deal (plus \u00a35 million in add-ons). The Brazilian forward, who signed a seven-year contract, underwent a medical in the U.S. and is already training with his new teammates. Pedro\u2019s versatility to play as a striker or winger gives Maresca tactical flexibility, and his knack for finding the net will ease the burden on Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea\u2019s financial maneuvering to meet UEFA\u2019s regulations means more sales could follow, but for now, Pedro\u2019s arrival is a statement of intent. The Blues are building a squad to dominate, and Pedro is a key piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2168206993-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 24: Joao Pedro of Brighton &amp; Hove Albion celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Premier League match between Brighton &amp; Hove Albion FC and Manchester United FC at Amex Stadium on August 24, 2024 in Brighton, England. \" class=\"wp-image-10431\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Eddie Keogh\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"martin-zubimendi-anchors-arsenals-midfield\">Martin Zubimendi Anchors Arsenal\u2019s Midfield<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal have landed their marquee signing in Real Sociedad\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/martin-zubimendi-73639\">Martin Zubimendi<\/a>, who joins for \u00a355 million.
