Newcastle have discussed the possibility of signing ‘unplayable’ £170k-a-week winger
Newcastle United have discussed the possibility of signing an ‘unplayable’ £172k-a-week winger, according to a recent report.
The Magpies finished seventh in the Premier League last season which considering all the injuries they contended with, has to be viewed as a successful year.
Eddie Howe will now be eager to bolster his ranks and add quality to his forward line to return the club back to some form of European competition.
That said, it seems they’re considering a move for an winger.
Newcastle consider signing Nico Williams
According to , Newcastle have discussed the possibility of signing Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.
The 13-cap Spain international enjoyed a marvellous season last year, netting eight times whilst laying on a whopping 17 assists.
Bilbao are expected to demand his release clause which stands at £43m, though, his lofty wages may be a stumbling block for Newcastle.
Williams earns £170k-a-week which would make him the highest earner at St James’ Park, according to .
Nico Williams statistics
It’s easy to see why Newcastle are pondering on a move for Nico Williams when you take a look at his impressive statistics.
Williams ranks in the top two per cent for assists compared to his positional peers across Europe and also sits in the top seven per cent for progressive carries, evincing his terrific dribbling ability.
The 21-year-old has excellent movement as he ranks in the top 10 per cent for progressive passes received.
If Newcastle do land his signature this summer, it’d be a very promising addition.
