Chelsea Eyeing Athletic Bilbao Star Nico Williams for Summer Transfer

Chelsea are reportedly considering a summer move for Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams.

The 21-year-old winger has caught the eye of the Chelsea scouts and is now on the club’s radar for a potential transfer in the upcoming transfer window.

Nico Williams, the younger brother of Athletic Bilbao’s Iñaki Williams, recently signed a contract extension with the Spanish club that includes a release clause of €50m.

Reports suggest that despite his young age, Williams’ current wages would make him one of Chelsea’s highest earners if he were to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s interest in Williams is not dependent on the potential departure of Raheem Sterling or Mykhailo Mudryk, and it would not hinder any pursuit of a center forward in the transfer market.

Arsenal is also among the clubs reportedly interested in securing the services of Nico Williams, with a number of top European teams keeping a close eye on the talented winger.

Williams has been in impressive form this season, building on a breakout campaign last year and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young talents in La Liga.
