Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams has addressed speculation regarding his future.

The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Aston Villa in recent months.

The Spanish attacker is clear that he will make a choice about his future on his terms.

“I feel very good. I think that this season I am making a leap in quality, I am growing as a footballer, which is what I work for every day," he told El Periodico de Espana.

“That big teams like Barça, Madrid or clubs in England are watching me means that I am doing my job well.

“I am clear about the decision I want to make, but in the end, this is something that my representatives have, who have been with me since I was 11 years old. In the end I don't like the noise either.

“I don't like people speaking lies, generating rumors that aren't true. People talk a lot and that makes me uncomfortable. I think it will be known sooner rather than later, but it will be known, and I think that will leave us all calm.

“We have not set a deadline, but we are following some guidelines that we have set for ourselves. As I have told you, I am calm, these are things that my representatives are carrying out and I want it to remain that way."
