Alasdair Gold says club are confident of keeping 21-year-old Spurs target
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has confirmed that Tottenham are indeed keen on landing Nico Williams this summer but made it clear that the Lilywhites have their work cut out if they want to complete the deal.
Tottenham are interested in Nico Willams
Gold stated that despite the arrival of Timo Werner, Ange Postecoglou’s side do wish to add another wide-forward to his squad before the start of the new campaign, with Barcelona’s Raphinha and Sporting Lisbon’s Marcus Edwards among the names ont the club’s radar.
He said that Williams‘ name is also on Tottenham’s list but pointed out that the Athletic Club Bilbao star is also wanted by several big sides around Europe.
The journalist explained that even though there is a £46.5m release clause in the 21-year-old’s contract, the deal would not be straightforward to complete as the player has not shown a willingness to leave San Mames.
Nico Williams could remain in Spain this summer
Finally, Gold suggested that as things stand, Athletic Club are not worried about losing their academy graduate this summer.
Meanwhile, the Spaniard himself admitted over the weekend that he remains happy at his boyhood club and brushed aside the rumours linking him with a move away (La1 via Fabrizio Romano).

Williams is undoubtedly the most exciting name among the various wingers mooted as targets for Spurs over recent months but a deal for the Spain international was always going to be quite difficult to do, especially on the back of the impressive season he has just had.
With the likes of Chelsea also said to be interested, it will only make Tottenham’s chances of a deal more difficult.
