Former Liverpool star Didi Hamann has urged the Reds to hijack Arsenal’s move to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club.
According to Hamann, Arsenal are not big spenders, and Williams would be ideal for Liverpool as they look to strengthen their squad during the summer transfer window.
Speaking to CoinCasino, Hamann said (via Metro): “When it comes to Nico Williams, Arsenal might well be priced out, as we know they are not keen to be big spenders.
“Arsenal have bought Declan Rice, but that has not been followed; otherwise, they may have brought a winger in already.
“For Liverpool, I think centre forward should be a priority, but there is no question that Nico Williams is a brilliant player.”
He added, “He makes things happen, he creates chances out of nothing and there will be a lot of takers. The fact that Liverpool have won the league enhances their chance of signing him because it is one of the biggest prizes in football.”
Williams has a £48 million release clause in his contract amid interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spain international will hope to lead Athletic Club to victory when they face Manchester United in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday, having lost the first leg 3–0 in Spain.
