According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur will compete with Arsenal and Liverpool to sign Athletic Bilbao sensation Nico Williams this summer.
The Spaniard has recently sparked interest from several major European teams after demonstrating his abilities for both club and country.
After a great season with the Basque club last year, the 21-year-old has demonstrated his ability on the international scene as well, playing an important role for Spain in the ongoing European Championship.
It has previously been rumored that the Gunners are interested in signing the teenager, but they appear to be prioritising bolstering other areas before making a deal for a new winger.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has expressed interest in him, but Anthony Gordon appears to be higher on their list of front-line reinforcements.

As a result, if Tottenham acts swiftly, they may be able to complete the transaction. According to Football Insider, Spurs have been monitoring the youngster’s improvement in recent months in preparation for a potential summer move.
According to the article, Tottenham have been impressed by the 21-year-old and believe he will be a’star in the making’ if he joins the Premier League.
Barcelona is also interested in Williams, but he has a £49 million release clause in his current deal, and the cost has put the Catalan giants off owing to budgetary constraints. So the Premier League will be the best option for him.
The Athletic Bilbao star is a natural left-winger, although he can also play on the other side. He is speedy, technically competent, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight spaces, is efficient at converting his chances, can generate opportunities for teammates, and works hard even when not in possession.
It has been said that Williams has the potential to become a top-tier forward in the future, so if the North London team signs him, he would be an excellent addition.
However, it would be interesting to watch if Tottenham can eventually capture his signature by defeating their opponents in this competition.
