Nico Williams: A young man in high demand
Nicolas "Nico" Williams is a young man in high demand in European football as one of the standout players in the Spanish La Liga, with the Athletic Bilbao winger is said to be one of the big most sought-after-players in the transfer market this summer.
After winning the Spanish Cup (Copa Del Rey) with a man-of-the-match performance in the final last week, a move away from Athletic Club is becoming increasingly likely for the 21-year-old who has been linked with Real Madrid and a number of leading English Premier League sides.
Born in Spain to Ghanaian parents, Nico shares the field with his elder brother Inaki at Athletic Bilbao, creating a compelling family dynamic within the team.
The brothers navigate a unique dynamic at the international level: while Nico represents Spain, Inaki chooses to honour their Ghanaian heritage by playing for the Black Stars of Ghana.
