Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club Bilbao.
The Spanish International has been a key player for his club country, and the North London outfit are hoping to sign him. As per Fichajes, Chelsea have offered €70 million to sign him, and Tottenham have now matched the offer. They are hoping to hijack the move and Williams in the coming months.
They have missed a quality left-sided attacker since the departure of Son Heung-min. The Spanish International could make a huge difference for them in the final third. He will add explosive pace and trickiness to the side. Tottenham have been quite predictable going forward, and they need that bit of quality.
The 23-year-old scored 11 goals and picked up 7 assists last season.
It will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit is willing to accept the €70 million offer.
Williams has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football, and he could be a star for Tottenham. He has been labelled as a genius by his coaches.
“Another genius. We’ll see what happens, it’s football stuff. But Nico is another player who will make history and become a legend,” De la Fuente noted.
The opportunity to move to England could be an exciting one for him. He has shown his ability in La Liga, and he could look to take on a new challenge. Tottenham could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies. They could be an exciting destination for him.
Chelsea have an ambitious project as well, and they have the resources to pay a substantial amount of money. It will be interesting to see what the player decides.
The London clubs are willing to offer him premium wages to convince the player to join.
