Three top English clubs are keeping an eye on the Athletic Bilbao and Spain star

Nico Williams was named the best player in Spain's match against Italy. He played an incredible role for his team, helping La Furia Roja secure an early spot in the Euro 2024 playoffs.

He has also been a crucial player for Athletic Bilbao throughout the season, helping the Basque team secure fifth place in La Liga, qualify for the Europa League, and win the Copa del Rey.

Williams' phenomenal performance has caught the attention of many top clubs. According to talkSPORT, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are monitoring him. His contract with the club includes a release clause, which is believed to be only £47 million, a reasonable amount for many clubs, increasing their interest in the player.

Barcelona is also interested, but their financial situation may prevent them from signing him.

Nico Williams expressed his happiness at Athletic Bilbao and gratitude for the club's faith in him before the European Championship. His words are quoted by talkSPORT.

"I am very happy at Athletic. It is the club that gave me everything. The one that bet on me 100%.

I am very happy in Bilbao, and that's all I can say. Yes, ultimately, it's very clear to me that Athletic is my home, as I have said before.

I am very happy, and I want to focus 100% on the Euros. As for the rest, I don't know what is happening."

It remains uncertain whether any club will be able to lure Williams away, but it is clear that a player of his caliber could strengthen any team.
