With Chelsea's original target for reinforcements, Crystal Palace winger Olivier Ollis, set to move to Bayern, the Blues have quickly turned their attention to Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams. Chelsea manager Maresca is very optimistic about Nico Williams' pace and breaking ability and is interested in paying a €55 million default fee to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Nico Williams is known for his excellent speed advantage and attacking ability. Last season, he made 37 appearances for Athletic Bilbao, scoring 8 goals and contributing 19 assists. Nico Williams was particularly impressive in Spain's 1-0 win over Italy in this year's Europa League. He showed his skill and speed as he made several crossing attempts and managed to break through the defense of Italian defender Di Lorenzo.
Chelsea are looking to bolster their side attack by bringing in Nico Williams. The addition of Williams will provide Chelsea with more tactical options as well as improve the team's speed and creativity at the attacking end. The Chelsea management are actively pushing for the deal and are looking forward to finalizing the signing before the end of the summer transfer window.
If Chelsea succeed in signing Nico Williams, it will be an important reinforcement for the Blues in the summer transfer market. The arrival of Williams will enhance the competitiveness of the team and lay a solid foundation for the new season's campaign. Fans will wait and see how the young Spanish winger performs in the Premier League.
