News about Nico Williams

Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams scored against Atletico Madrid after accusing home supporters of making monkey noises towards him. Williams pointed to the colour of his skin during his celebration minutes after referee Juan Martinez briefly stopped the LaLiga game following the alleged racist abuse. Atletico players Antoine Griezmann and Jose Maria Gimenez appeared to be appealing to the section of fans to stop the chanting before play resumed.

After Athletic Bilbao's tense Copa del Rey final victory on Saturday night, Inaki Williams and Nico Williams were seen sharing an emotional hug. After defeating Mallorca in a thrilling penalty shootout at the Estadio Olmico de Sevilla, the Spanish side brought their 40-year quest to win the tournament. The brothers got off the field, with Nico providing an assist for Bilbao's only goal before watching their colleagues gain the tie from the field.

The latest international break may be over, but the narratives and discussions surrounding various national teams are only likely to rise in the run-up to Euro 2024. The 24 teams that will be competing in Germany this summer have been confirmed at the conclusion of Tuesday's play-off finals. Among the bookies' favorites to win the tournament are France, England, Germany, and Portugal, which will begin in Munich on June 14th.

Mauricio Pochettino of KIERAN GILL: Since it was revealed on Thursday that they had made a pre-tax loss of £90.1 million for the year ending June 30, 2023, Mauricio Pochettino says he would consult with Chelsea's owners to find out where they stand. That came after losing £121.4 million last year, raising questions about the club owned by Todd Boehly and the Premier League's financial rules. Chelsea insiders are denying that they will face no problems.

With the Blues currently ranked in the bottom half of the table, Mauricio Pochettino's team is hoping to expand their attacking options after another disappointing season. Though an out-and-out striker, such as Napoli's Victor Osimhen, remains their highest priority, reports suggest they are considering another winger.

SIMON JONES: Marquinhos, a winger for Arsenal, has concluded his loan move to Fluminense, according to Simon JONES. After he expressed an intention to play for the Brazil U23s at the Pre-Olympic tournament, which concluded on Sunday, the 20-year-old had a season loan to Nantes cut short last month. Fluminense is paying a loan fee and could attempt to make the move permanent in the summer.

Arsenal is reportedly keeping an eye on Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams ahead of his potential transfer in the summer. The Gunners are currently in the middle of another good season, with Mikel Arteta's side firmly in the title battle even though they are just two points behind Liverpool. However, they have failed to score on several occasions, with the Reds, Man City, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle all scoring more goals in the league this season. Williams, 21, has shone for Athletic Bilbao in recent seasons, scoring 17 goals and 17 assists in 109 games for the Basque club, while Spain has won 11 caps.

He landed in Paris at 6 a.m. on Wednesday from where his club had a personal jet waiting to transfer him to Bilbao - it was worth it.

According to statisticians, an international forward who also plays for PSG has been named as the most innovative player in world football. The CIES Football Observatory has carried out its most recent study in the hopes of determining chance creation around the world by creating a special creation index. The number is calculated by combining the number of key passes leading to goals and aspirations of each player per 90 minutes, with the final determined by the level of the game. This means that a game in the Premier League will actually count for more than a game in the Bundesliga 2 or the Championship.

Brighton is said to have begun the hunt for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. Since making his first team debut in April of 2021, the 21-year-old has become one of La Liga's most coveted talents due to his work with the Basque club. Luis Enrique, Spain's coach, gave Williams a call up the following year and has since earned ten caps for La Roja, including all four of Spain's matches at the 2022 World Cup, as a replacement after being kicked out of the tournament by Morocco in the Round of 16.

Lamine Yamal has made Spanish football history by becoming the youngest player to play for his country's national team and honoring his first goal for his country. In Spain's Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia, the Barcelona teenager set a new record as the country's youngest international at 16 years and 57 days. It tied for the first time for current teammate Gavi, who was 17 years old and 62 days old when he made his Spanish bow against Italy in September 2021. However, the history maker wasn't done there and made his debut for Spain by scoring the team's seventh goal in the 7-1 loss. Yamal has off to a promising start to the season at Barca, appearing in all four of the Spanish champions games so far this season, earning Xavi's first-choice pick on the club's right flank.

Manchester United put off their pre-season plans by drawing 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao in a friendly match that saw the Spanish team cut to 10-men. When Harry Maguire's loose pass was intercepted, the Red Devils fell behind in the first half, with Nico Williams then sent racing away before finishing behind Tom Heaton. Aitor Paredes was sent off in the second half for pulling back Hannibal Mejbri, one of Man United's youngsters, who had a promising display in the match.

In their final pre-season match in Dublin, Facundo Pellistri scored on the final kick of the game to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against 10-man Athletic Bilbao. After racing into Harry Maguire's nod down in the penalty area, the vivacious Pellistri fired into the bottom left corner in stoppage time. Erik ten Hag's side was spared from losing against the LaLiga team, who saw Aitor Paredes suspended midway through the second half, thanks to Pellistri's strike.

Nico Williams is expected to miss out on Aston Villa as the winger has agreed to a new deal with Athletic Bilbao. Villa had been heavily linked to a change for the Spanish national, but he would remain at Athletic, where just one year remains on his current contract. Williams' cancellation clause of £42 million (€50 million) will remain in effect, as Cadena Cope suggests, and it is unlikely that he will leave next summer.

As a player angle for departures to the English top-flight's riches, Premier League clubs are scouring the transfer market for bargain agreements. Professional talents can greatly raise their salaries by moving to the Premier League, and there are a number of cut-price bargains on the horizon this summer, as clubs plan to cash-in or risk losing players for free in the future. Mail Sport delves into the ten best European talents available for a reduced price this summer.

PETE JENSON IN SPAIN: Vinicius' argument was with La Liga, not with his club, and not with his team - Real Madrid said on Monday that the racial abuse he received was'repulsed' and that it must be treated as a hate crime. However, if he feels that the sport he plays in is not adequately safeguarding him, he might play in another. That was certainly the way the last words of his social media message said: "I will go all the way against the racists." And if it is far from here, it is still here.' Vinicius has also spoken openly and praisefully about the treatment he gets while playing in England in the Champions League, and if he leaves La Liga, he would prefer a change there. Forget the cheers; he doesn't get the same reverence from players in Spain as he did from Kyle Walker when facing Manchester City.

Newcastle United have added Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams to their lengthy list of targets, but Bayer Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby is off target. Williams, 20, was the subject of a £50 million release clause when Aston Villa first offered in January and Arsenal followed him closely. Newcastle has the likes of James Maddison, Mason Mount, Declan Rice, Kieran Tierney on their wish list, but they need alternatives as competition continues and prices rise.

Valencian fans held a demonstration against Athletic Bilbao, where they called for owner Peter Lim to leave the club ahead of their LaLiga game against Athletic Bilbao. Fans packed the streets around the Mestalla, with some of them carrying banners reading 'Lim, go home' written over them, sparking their chanting. Valencian citizens are dissatisfied with the way Lim operates at the club and have long been demanding new ownership.

Nico Williams will be tagged again by Aston Villa this summer following Unai Emery's unsuccessful attempt to capture the Athletic Bilbao attacker in January. Emery is desperate to find a winger and Williams, who was part of Spain's World Cup squad, but the 20-year-old was the first choice, only for him to be hesitant about leaving Athletic in mid-season. However, this is unlikely to dissuade Villa, who will be heavily involved Emery in the summer as he continues to reshape the squad to match his style of play.

Unai Emery's words could hardly have been more specific. When asked about his transfer window on January 6, Aston Villa manager Robert Aston replied: 'We need a winger, not a specific winger.' We need it and we're looking for one.' Despite Villa's readiness to trigger his £50 million release provision, Emery's top priority was Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, who refused to participate in the transfer despite Villa's readiness to trigger his £50 million release clause. And though Arnaut Danjuma had shone under him at Villarreal, Emery chose not to pursue him, Villarreal released Bertrand Traore from his loan spell in Turkey in the end. However, Emery might have wondered whether the answer had been correct under his nose as he watched Leicester debutant Tete dance through Villa Park in a dramatic display of old-fashioned wing play. Villa may not have pursued the Brazilian because Emery was searching for a more imposing player - Williams is just below 6 feet tall, while Tete is 5ft 8in - and favoured a permanent contract.

SIMON JONES: The winter transfer window is less than a week, and everyone in the Premier League - yes even - is looking to add to their squads. We can expect more traffic over the next six days whether it's Arsenal looking to add firepower to their title defense or teams like Everton and Bournemouth trying to prevent relegation. Here's a look at what every club is shooting as the January window draws to a close.

Luiz Henrique has been targeted by Aston Villa as Unai Emery seeks to add a wide forward to his squad in January, though the Brazilian has stated that he is content at Real Betis. After losing in their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, Villa has turned their attention to the $44 million Brazilian.

After struggling in an effort to bring Spain's national Nico Williams their first signing, Aston Villa has been left dissatisfied. Williams, who appears in Athletic Bilbao and caught the eye during his country's games at the World Cup last month, is one of Europe's top young talents, and Villa wanted to impress new boss Unai Emery, who has a passion for soccer. The 20-year-old, who was capped seven times by Spain, has a £45 million release clause in his deal, and Villa is set to trigger it.

IAN HERBERT AT THE EDUCATION STADIUM: During the rounds, it was clear that Morocco would be playing Spain, as the tag 'the champion gets Andalucia.' During Morocco's 50-year struggle to regain control of its land, the Spanish military received one of the country's finest ever beatings, and Luis Enrique's players got a glimpse of what the country's troops went through in the war for independence. They stepped out of a war zone, unleashing an unremitting cacophony of whistles that lasted for as long as Spain retained control and revealed, in the process, the reckless nature of how long they held on to the ball on a featureless road to nowhere.
