Tottenham now very interested in ‘incredible’ £43m attacker who’s even quicker than Kylian Mbappe

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Nico Williams in the summer transfer window, with the 21-year-old one of the names on their wishlist for a new attacker at the end of the season.

Spurs put a lot of teams to shame with their work in the January transfer window, bringing in Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin. But Ange Postecoglou‘s side remain a work in progress. And it appears that they will look to strengthen further in the summer.

Writing for , journalist Dean Jones has suggested that Tottenham are seriously interested in Nico Williams.

Aston Villa are showing the most interest from the Premier League in the youngster. Unai Emery has not been afraid to utilise his knowledge of La Liga to help with recruitment. But Arsenal have also reportedly asked about Williams in the past.

Jones notes that Williams is seriously considering leaving Athletic in the summer. His contract includes a £43 million release clause.

A seriously exciting target

Williams has had an amazing season to date. He has scored five goals and contributed 10 assists across La Liga and the Copa del Rey. No-one has provided more assists in the Spanish top-flight this season.

The Spain international has been labelled an ‘‘ athlete, and there has been that he is even faster than Kylian Mbappe.

So he would definitely be a player Tottenham fans would love to watch. Postecoglou has worked wonders with a number of the players within his squad. And Williams would be a seriously exciting addition to the ranks ahead of his second season at the helm.

But clearly, there is a lot of interest in Williams due to his form this season and the release clause in his contract.

Tottenham however, will be confident that they can rival anyone for the attacker’s signature given the progress that they have made since Postecoglou was appointed.
