Unai Emery reportedly wants Aston Villa to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams in the summer transfer window.
A report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is pushing the club to sign Nico Williams. The Spanish winger will cost around €55 million in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Williams has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur as well. The 21-year-old has been in impressive form for Athletic Club this season, scoring six goals and picking up 14 assists in all competitions.
The Spanish international could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and Emery could help him fulfil his tremendous potential. Aston Villa need to add more quality and cutting edge in the final third. Signing a talented young winger could prove to be a wise decision.
They have been overly dependent on players like Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey in this season. Williams could share the attacking burden at the club. Aston Villa are currently pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and they will look to put together a squad capable of competing in Europe regularly and pushing for domestic trophies.
It will be interesting to see if Williams is keen on a move to the West Midlands club. If Aston Villa manage to secure Champions League qualification for the next season, they will be an attractive destination for most players.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham want Nico Williams as well
Arsenal are likely looking at Nico Williams as a potential squad player. They need to add more quality in the wide areas so that Mikel Arteta can rotate players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
At Chelsea, he could prove to be an upgrade on players like Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk. Both players have been quite underwhelming for the Blues, and Chelsea need to bring in more quality in the final third.
Tottenham Hotspur need more cutting edge in the attack as well, and Williams would add goals and creativity to the side. The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite tempting for most players, and it will be interesting to see where the 21-year-old Spaniard ends up eventually.
