Tottenham Hotspur has joined the list of Premier League clubs around Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, according to journalist Dean Jones’ column on Sports Lens.
Williams has been regarded as a bright talent for several years, and the wideout is beginning to show signs of being a breakthrough star.
The pacy winger has now scored 15 goals (five goals and ten assists) across all competitions and is reportedly attracting envious looks from clubs around Europe.
Tottenham are now interested in Nico Williams.
According to Jones, Spurs have joined Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Liverpool in the hunt to recruit Williams.
According to the writer, Villa has made the greatest progress in their pursuit of the 21-year-old, who is also reportedly on the radars of Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.
The Spain international’s contract has a £43 million release clause, which appears to be more likely to be used next summer considering his maturity.
Jones adds that Tottenham believe they would be an appealing destination for Williams because they provide a solid environment for young players to reach their full potential.
