Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are today suddenly linked to Nico Williams.
Those mentions are seen in a piece from Goal España, who bring a very long story about the winger’s participation in the World Cup.
It’s claimed that just like Athletic Bilbao fans are proud that their young talent is part of the national team squad, they’re also afraid that his performances in the tournament could draw the interest from some European giants.
Williams was brought in by manager Luis Enrique during Spain’s two games so far, and his few minutes on the pitch were seen by the local media as very positive.
That’s why Goal now wonders if the winger’s €50m release clause would become a ‘temptation’ for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint Germain.
The outlet still shows a bit of hope that the player could stay at Athletic in that case, as both he and the club could fight against that transfer.
The Spanish media had even linked Williams to Liverpool in the past, but this seems the first time Arsenal and Chelsea are named as potential destinations for the youngster, whose performances at the World Cup could be decisive for his career.
