The British media strongly recommended Tottenham's recruitment of Nico Williams (21, Athletic Bilbao).

Tottenham is looking to recruit a striker in the upcoming summer transfer market. As Harry Kane (Munich) left the team, Son Heung-min played a big role at the front line, and naturally, his dependence on Son Heung-min increased significantly. In particular, as Richarlison often left the team due to injury, Son's burden increased. Brennan Johnson, Dejan Klusevski, and Timo Werner, who were brought on loan, are also agonizing over their ups and downs every game.

Eventually, Tottenham began to move to recruit new strikers, and Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle) were considered. In the midst of this, it was argued that wing forward Williams should be recruited.

Tottenham recently had a relationship with Williams. The British Telegraph reported, "Tottenham is monitoring Williams and plans to try to recruit him."

Williams is the type of striker who destroys the side with his explosive speed. He has both speed and skill, and his speed of work makes him a presence in attacking the side. Williams has developed through Bilbao's youth team and started from the 2021-22 season. His season this season has been a career high in Spain's La Liga, with three goals and nine assists in 26 games.

"Williams is the left wing that Tottenham must recruit this summer," the U.K.'s Football Fancast said on Monday (Korea time). Williams averaged 1.5 key passes and 2.8 dribbles per game. He has tremendous skills and the joining of Williams will further strengthen Son's ability to use as a striker. He is a player who can provide Son with many scoring opportunities."

He continued, "Williams has shown potential with his challenging playing style and lethal move in the final third. He can be a Bukayo Saka for Tottenham. Of course he needs to improve his finishing skills, but he is good enough to replace Saka."

Williams' contract with Bilbao runs through the summer of 2027. Although he still has some leeway during the contract period, the buyout could serve as a variable for recruitment. Williams' buyout is reportedly worth 50 million euros.
