The latest transfer talk from St James Park as Newcastle United look to add to their squad during the summer transfer window.
Newcastle United transfer target Nico Williams have been subjected to a ‘excessive and uncontrolled’ level of speculation over his future with Athletic Club.
That was the verdict of the La Liga club’s president Jon Uriate as he assessed the situation surrounding the Spain international after he shone during La Roja’s run to the final of Euro 2024. Despite earning just 14 caps prior to the tournament, Williams has become a key part of the Spain side that has impressed throughout the last four weeks and will be a one of the biggest threats to an England side that could contain Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier in Sunday night’s final in Berlin.
Williams went into Euro 2024 with some serious momentum after he helped Athletic to their first Copa del Rey Final win in 40 years after they came through a penalty shoot-out against Real Mallorca in the final in Seville in April. After impressing in Spain’s group stage wins against Croatia and Italy, the 22-year-old provided his first goal and assist of Euro 2024 in a round of 16 win against Georgia and continued to shine in the quarter-final win against Germany and Tuesday’s semi-final victory against pre-tournament favourites France.
