Ghanaian forward Inaki Williams has been named the Best African Player in La Liga for the 2024–2025 season, making him the first player ever to win the award in back-to-back years.
The Athletic Bilbao player's combination of speed, wit, and experience was crucial throughout the season, helping his team climb to fourth place in the league and qualify for the UEFA Champions League again.
Season Stats
- Matches Played: 35
- Starts: 29
- Goals: 6
- Assists: 8 (Team-high)
Williams was not Bilbao's top scorer, but his leadership and inventiveness were crucial to their success, leading a young team to one of their finest league seasons in decades.
Final Podium

- Pape Gueye (Senegal – Villarreal)
- Enzo Boyomo (Cameroon – Osasuna)
Inaki Williams' reputation as one of the most reliable and significant African players in Spanish football is further cemented by this historic double.
