Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> have joined London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal in the race to sign Bilbao winger Nico Williams as per a report in The Daily Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish daily Estadio Deportivo<\/a>, Bilbao wish to hold onto Nico Williams but the contract he signed back in December has a release clause of just \u00a343 million which will make it almost impossible for the Spanish side to keep him at the club beyond the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilbao has agreed on a deal to sign Alvaro Djalo from Braga and many think he is a direct replacement for Nico Williams even though the club’s football director is claiming otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe incorporation of Djal\u00f3 has nothing to do with Nico,\u201d<\/em> director of football Mikel Gonz\u00e1lez has claimed. \u201cWe renewed him until 2027, we see him super happy. He wants more and wants to play in Europe. He has nothing to do with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea and Arsenal have been scouting the 21-year-old for some time and now Spurs have also joined the bandwagon. Some rumours are suggesting that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is also a big fan of the left-winger and despite his club’s negative balance sheet, he will ask them to go after Williams at the end of this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
