Aston Villa and Liverpool are chasing Athletic Bilbao striker Nico Williams.

AS says Williams is now being lined up for a mega-money move to the Premier League following previous links with Man United.

Liverpool are big fans of the wide forward, who is out of contract next year.

Jurgen Klopp has struggled to get a tune out of new signings Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo. And with Roberto Firmino's future unclear, Williams has emerged as an ideal target.

But there are two issues for Liverpool, the first being the price.

Williams has a release clause of £45m, and Bilbao will not let him go for anything less.

The second issue is that Aston Villa are also keen on signing Williams.

Villa has shown they are not afraid to splash the cash for the right signing.
