Aston Villa manager Unai Emery would reportedly be behind the club signing Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams. If Emery can guide Villa to Champions League qualification, it means the club will attract a higher calibre of players. Williams has a release clause of around 43m and Emery is reportedly an admirer of him.
At worst Villa will have Europa League football next season and will need to bolster their squad accordingly. The Villans have held a long-term interest in Williams and believe they are in a strong position to make him an offer, despite Bilbao's desire to keep him.
