Williams would be coming in to a pretty congested winger role, where the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling are currently operating.

The latter however has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, with Saudi Arabia reportedly weighing up making a big move.

The Spain international has already made an impact for his national side, with him playing a big part in them reaching the Nations League final four.

He said to Marca: “Nico was the difference. He changed the rhythm of the match with his stride and the energy he has. He provided a great assist and Álvaro was there.”

It has been claimed that a striker is still firmly top of their list when it comes to potential signings.

However, they should absolutely look to bring in Williams ahead of their rivals, who has shown an ability to feature on both wings.
