Gabby Agbonlahor<\/strong> has urged Aston Villa to beat Liverpool to a deal for “exciting” Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, insisted signing the 21-year-old would be the perfect addition to the club’s squad depth in attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Spanish outlet AS<\/a> (16 September), Aston Villa, Liverpool and Barcelona are “on the prowl” for Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aston<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, but the report claims Athletic Bilbao are keen to renew his deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams has already notched four assists in four La Liga games for Bilbao so far this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has turned out 89 times for his boyhood club, scoring 12 goals and contributing 11 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngster, who made his Spain debut in September 2022 and played at the World Cup later that year, can play on both flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agbonlahor told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Ewan Kingsbury: \u201cHe\u2019s the sort of player that is exciting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s quick, can play off the left, down the middle – and the manager knows him well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is the one we\u2019re all looking at for the January window. Bring him in and then you\u2019ve got Duran, Watkins – and other players like Bailey, Ramsey and even Buendia who is coming back from injury.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aston<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt just adds competition for places.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat way, if you\u2019re not bang at it as an attacking player – you\u2019re getting dropped. That\u2019s why Aston Villa are in a strong position at the moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
