Report: Liverpool join the race for Tottenham target – Aston Villa are also keen
Nico Williams is shining at the EUROs in Germany this summer which has only intensified interest in the winger as Liverpool join Tottenham in the host of teams interested.
Tottenham will have plenty of competition for Nico Williams
The Telegraph revealed back in April that Spurs were part of a group of Premier League clubs who were interested in the 21-year-old who is reported to have a £42.8 million buyout clause in his deal at Athletic Bilbao.
Williams himself however has knocked back talks of departing Bilbao this summer as he told Nogomania: ‘I signed a contract with Bilbao a few weeks ago, and I feel very happy there’.
Football Insider reported on the 3rd of July that Tottenham and Aston Villa were still keeping a keen eye on Williams ahead of a potential move for the Spanish speedster, with rumours that people within the North London club are huge fans of the player.
Liverpool show interest in Nico Williams

New Reds manager Arne Slot is looking to add a new attacker to his ranks this summer which has led to the club’s recruitment team creating a long list of targets. Williams is expected to be high on the list as the attacker is someone Liverpool have long since admired.
A potential move for Williams from Liverpool would likely put Tottenham’s chances in further doubt, although Football Insider does claim that despite the player desiring a switch to Barcelona, the Spanish giants may not be able to afford the deal.
Spurs Web Opinion
Williams’ performances for Spain this summer continue to impress me and make it evident why he is on so many top clubs’ shortlists this summer.
Tottenham fans would undoubtedly love to see Williams tearing up the Premier League in lilywhite next season, but it looks more and more unlikely after every game for Spain and every rumour of another interested club.
Perhaps the ship has sailed for Spurs and Williams since the clubs reported interest back in April.
