Aston Villa’s remarkable performance under Unai Emery has put them in contention for Champions League qualification, signaling their potential to attract top talents from Europe. Ty Bracey has weighed in on the possibility of the Villans securing a notable duo, indicating the club’s improved position to make significant signings.
Following their recent victory against Luton Town, Aston Villa is now focusing on a crucial Europa Conference League match against Ajax. While the team is busy on the field, discussions about summer reinforcements are already underway, reflecting the club’s proactive approach under Emery’s leadership.
Despite already making notable signings like Moussa Diaby, Pau Torres, and Morgan Rogers, Villa could further strengthen their squad, possibly targeting Nico Williams and Inaki Williams from Athletic Bilbao. However, Bracey suggests that securing both players might be ambitious, although the club’s current standing in fourth place could be appealing to potential signings.
If Villa decides to pursue the Williams brothers, it’s estimated that they might have to invest over €75m (£64m), potentially impacting their ability to secure the Bilbao stars. Nevertheless, acquiring either Nico or Inaki Williams would be considered a significant coup for the club, with Nico emerging as a promising talent in La Liga, while Inaki is an established goalscorer ready for a new challenge.
Inaki himself has expressed admiration for his younger brother’s abilities, affirming his belief in Nico’s potential to contribute significantly to the Spanish national team.
