Reports suggest that Aston Villa is considering making a move for Inaki Williams, the Ghanaian striker from Athletic Bilbao.
The Ghanaian international has been in impressive form for the Spanish club this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 13 games.
Since joining Bilbao in 2015, Williams has become a key player for the team and recently equalled the goalscoring record of club legend Cuco Ziganda. With his current contract set to expire in 2028, Aston Villa is keen on bringing him to the Premier League. According to Football Insider, the Villans are exploring options to sign Williams in the winter transfer window.
If the deal goes through, Williams would join Jordan Ayew as the second Ghanaian player to represent Aston Villa. His experience in La Liga and his ability to find the back of the net makes him an attractive prospect for Villa, who are looking to strengthen their attacking lineup.
Although nothing is official yet, Aston Villa’s interest in Williams indicates their determination to compete for top honours in the Premier League by bolstering their squad.
Days ago, Inaki Williams became a revered figure for Ghana’s Black Stars after his crucial goal against Madagascar.
Despite facing challenges with the national team, Williams showcased his goal-scoring prowess by netting his first goal for Ghana in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match. The Spanish La Liga club, Athletic Bilbao, expressed their admiration for Williams’ achievement, highlighting his contribution to the team’s victory.
On Twitter, the official handle of the Spanish team wrote:
