Nico Williams signing could end Timo Werner’s Tottenham dream
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams for a potential summer transfer, and any possible signing of the Spaniard could potentially end Timo Werner’s spell at N17.
Spurs have been eyeing reinforcements on the flanks this summer as Daniel Levy insists on giving Ange Postecoglou better players to sustain his process and progress with the North Londoners. John Wenham, owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, claims signing Nico Williams this summer would allow Tottenham to avoid making a permanent move for Timo Werner. This fuels the rumors linking Tottenham Hotspur to Nico Williams.
He believes that the 21-year-old would be an “outstanding” addition to the roster at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. John Wenham’s comments come on the back of a Telegraph report vouching Daniel Levy & Co. as potential buyers for the Athletic Bilbao forward.
Williams or Werner? Spurs face choice between youngster and experience
John Wenham, in his exclusive interview with Tottenham News, acknowledges that it is highly unlikely that the club signs both Werner and Williams on a permanent deal this summer. He said:
“If Spurs were to spend the £42.8million on Williams, that wouldn’t be good for Werner’s future at Tottenham,” Wenham said.
“In that situation, the club are likely to thank Werner for the season, what he has done for the team and wish him well and use the money that would go toward him to sign Williams.
“Williams would be an outstanding signing and a real statement of intent.”
