According to Fichajes, Manchester United are determined to sign Athletic Club Bilbao winger Nico Williams in the upcoming transfer windows. The Premier League club believe he could be a great fit for the side and help them win titles.
Nico Williams is a proven campaigner
Nico Williams is one of the best talents to come from Athletic Club Bilbao Academy in recent years. He is a well-established figure not only at the club level but also on the international stage. His progress in the last couple of years couldn’t be ignored either.
Williams had a great time last season where he managed to pull individual stats and also lift the Euro Cup 2024 with Spain. At the club level, he netted eight goals and provided 19 assists in 37 games. He averaged 1.8 shots, 1.5 key passes, and 2.8 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Spanish winger plays on the left wing but can also operate on the right side if needed. He is known for his pace, effective dribbling, and strong finishing skills. He is also a good passer of the ball and puts good crosses into the box.
Nico Williams will add different elements
Manchester United definitely need more quality in the wide areas if they want to become a winning side. Though they have some notable names at their disposal, their inconsistency doesn’t help the club too much when it comes to league format.
Hence, the Red Devils are tempted to go after exciting names in the market. For now, they have set their eyes on Nico Williams, who is one of the best wingers in the world at present. He certainly has the physicality and qualities to succeed in the Premier League.
The Spanish’s arrival will have Manchester United score more goals upfront. However, they will have to convince the player to join them as Barcelona remains a lucrative choice for him. He has a release clause of £48 million, which shouldn’t be an issue for the English giants.
