Aston Villa have expressed interest in signing Nico Williams, whose current contract expires in 2024.
The agent of Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams provided an update on the player’s future in a recent interview (via El Correo). He stated,
Williams’ Good Run of Form Williams is having a good season in La Liga after putting in a string of outstanding performances on the left side of Bilbao’s attack. This season, the Spaniard has one goal and five assists in ten games for the Spanish team across several tournaments.
The 21-year-old has performed admirably in La Liga, averaging 1.7 shots, 2.1 critical passes, and 2.5 dribbles per 90 minutes. He’s also accurate when distributing the ball from midfield, having completed 78% of his attempted passes in Spain’s top flight (numbers via whoscored).
His current contract with the Spanish club expires next summer, which could open the way for the Villans.
What should Aston Villa manager Unai Emery do about Williams?
Williams can make a couple driving runs with the ball out in the wide areas and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. He has the vision to make a few crucial passes in the final third and the ability to fire the ball with venom and accuracy from long range. This season, the Spanish wonder has done well to add a couple goals and assists to his repertoire.
We may anticipate Williams improving the quality of Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery’s starting XI. He has the ability to assist Villans compete for European football in the Premier League in the next years.
Williams is 21 years old.
