Unai Emery is very keen on the Bilbao winger
Reports over the recent days have suggested that Nico Williams is high on Aston Villa’s summer Wishlist, with the 20-year-old having had the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal monitoring him last season.
The younger brother of Bilbao mainstay Iñaki Williams, Nico has risen through the ranks at the San Mamés and has featured regularly over the last two seasons.
His performances have been rewarded with call ups to the Spanish national team, with 8 caps to his name already.
Gregg Evans’ article on Aston Villa’s summer targets explicitly name drops Nico Williams as one on Aston Villa’s Wishlist, and it’s a name we have seen come up again and again as a target for Aston Villa since the appointment of Unai Emery.
Williams won’t be cheap however, with Bilbao being expected to want around 50 million euros if he were to leave.
However this move works out, this summer is set to be an exciting one for Aston Villa fans.
