Newcastle United have beenඣ linked with a move for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.

According to , the Magpies have enquir🐷ed about the 20-year-old winger in recent months.

Howeve𒁃r, Newcastle are far from the only club reportedly eyeing Willi𒐪ams.

As well as the Magpies, Manchester City ✃have apparently asked about the Spain🌟 international.

Furthermore, Aston Villa appear to be 🎃frontrunners and are ‘progressing in talks’ over Williams.

With that in mind, Newcastle will need to get a move on if they are to steal a march for the exciti🍌ng player.

Williams has a release clause of €50💟million, or aroဣund £43million.

‘Extremely dangerous on the counter’

Newcastle enjoyed an amazing season last time round, finishing in the Premier Le🐽ague’s top four.

In addition, the ♔Magpies reached the League Cup final, and will be in the Champions League next 𝓀term.

Newcastle will want to build on their amazing foundations and hopefu🐭lly get some silverware on board.

To ♍do that, the Magpies need to add quantity and quality to their ranks, so they can fight on four fronts.

Williams is, as per 90Min, ‘one of the top attacking tal❀ents in Europe’, and would 🌼be an amazing signing for the Toon.

Last season, he registered an impressive nine goals and six assists from 43 Athletic outi✃ngs in all competitions.

Williams has also won eight caps for Spain and has one goal under his belt for the 2⭕010 World Cup cham🍬pions.

He is just 20 years old, so he’s nowhere near his pꦆri🏅me, and as such can – and should – get so much better.

previously compared Williams’ style﷽ of play to that oꦆf Wilfried Zaha.

He is ‘extremely da🦩ngerous on the counter’ thanks to his ‘electric’♉ pace and acceleration, wrote Jacek Kulig.

Williams is an incredibly exc🍷iting proposition for the present and future, just li🍌ke Newcastle as a club and squad.
