England's Football Insider reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is seeking to recruit Nico Williams over Aston Villa'
Tottenham want to steadily reinforce its offense after going through a period of change due to the appointment of coach Enze Postecoglou and the transfer of Harry Kane. There was recruitment of Brennan Johnson last summer and Timo Werner this winter, but it is difficult to say that he has completely reorganized the offense, which still has Kane's void.
Since last winter's transfer market, several players have been listed as candidates for Tottenham's offensive reinforcement. Tottenham reviewed a variety of players from the front line to the winger. Ivan Toney and Pedro Netu were also connected to Tottenham this summer. However, there was a separate striker that Tottenham paid attention to. It was Williams, a member of Athletic Bilbao.
Football Insider said 'Tottenham is keeping an eye on Williams. He played in Euro 2024 for the Spanish national team, raising his name value. He has a buyout worth 49 million pounds (about 86 billion won). Barcelona also wanted to recruit him, but now the English Premier League (EPL) is expected to be a strong destination. Tottenham leaders are impressed with him and have determined he is a star-studded player in England'

Like Son Heung-min, his main position is the left winger. He is also considered sincere in his participation in defense and pressure. He has the ability to greatly contribute to Postecoglou's tactics. Considering the young age of those born in 2002, he can grow into a substitute for Son Heung-min in the long run. He has already recently played as a starting member of the Spanish national team at Euro 2024, proving that he is a talent who can fully show his skills on the European stage.
The problem is Williams' huge weekly demand. Williams, who is currently receiving 170,000 pounds (about 300 million won) from Bilbao, is known to demand up to 300,000 pounds (about 520 million won). Currently, Tottenham's highest weekly wage is Son Heung-min, who is around 190,000 pounds (about 330 million won). Williams' required weekly wage is 1.5 times that of Son Heung-min. It is also higher than the contract of Harry Kane, who is considered the highest-paid player in Tottenham history.
It is unclear whether Tottenham, which postponed the renewal of the contract with Son Heung-min, the club Living Legend, as an option to extend the contract, will be able to accept Williams' weekly demand.
Tottenham have selected a special recruitment candidate to leap to this summer's championship. Attention is also focusing on whether the contract can be concluded by accepting enormous weekly demands.
