Liverpool keeping tabs on €50m La Liga ace with 13 goal contributions | OneFootball

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Athletic Club Bilbao winger Nico Williams at the end of the season.

A report from Spanish publication AS claims that Premier League side Aston Villa are keeping tabs on the talented young winger as well. The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for Bilbao this season and he has 7 goals and 6 assists to his name across all competitions.

While Williams is naturally a right-sided winger, the talented youngster can operate on either flank and his versatility will be a bonus for Liverpool if they manage to secure his services.

Williams has a contract with Athletic Club Bilbao until the summer of 2024 and it remains to be seen whether the Spanish outfit can convince him to commit his long-term future to the club before the end of the season. The winger has a €50 million release clause in his contract and Bilbao will probably demand it to be paid in full before they let the player leave at the end of the season.
