Alasdair Gold says club are confident of keeping 21-year-old Spurs target

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has confirmed that Tottenham are indeed keen on landing Nico Williams this summer but made it clear that the Lilywhites have their work cut out if they want to complete the deal.

Gold stated that despite the arrival of Timo Werner, Ange Postecoglou’s side do wish to add another wide-forward to his squad before the start of the new campaign, with Barcelona’s Raphinha and Sporting Lisbon’s Marcus Edwards among the names ont the club’s radar.

He said that Williams‘ name is also on Tottenham’s list but pointed out that the Athletic Club Bilbao star is also wanted by several big sides around Europe.

The journalist explained that even though there is a £46.5m release clause in the 21-year-old’s contract, the deal would not be straightforward to complete as the player has not shown a willingness to leave San Mames.
