Nico Williams
24-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Fit for quarterfinal
Williams (groin) is fit for Friday's quarterfinal against Belgium, according to Diario SPORT.
ANALYSIS
Williams was on the bench for Spain in the round of 16 but didn't play, still not completely fit. However, the winger now appears to be fully fit, leaving him to be an option for the starting XI in future games. That said, he could earn a starting role on the left wing of the attack as Spain advances in the tournament, as he was a major part of their Euro run in 2024.
