Tottenham must be cautious of their financial constraints if they intend to make a move for Athletic Bilbao’s speedy talent Nico Williams, according to Paul Robinson.
The Daily Mirror reported that Spurs are gearing up for a transfer battle with London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea for the 21-year-old winger, who recently signed a new contract with Athletic which includes a hefty release clause of £43million.
Robinson, in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, acknowledged Williams’ skill and potential but raised concerns about Tottenham’s ability to stay within Profit and Sustainability limits if they pursue him.
“Bilbao has secured Williams on a long contract until 2028/29, indicating his value to the club and their strong bargaining position,” Robinson stated.
“If Tottenham is eyeing a player of Williams’ caliber, they need to consider the financial implications. With other clubs struggling to meet FFP requirements, it’s crucial for Spurs to be cautious with their spending.”
While the possibility of Champions League football could impact Tottenham’s transfer plans, Robinson believes that signing players like Williams would be crucial for the team’s success in European competitions.
Despite the challenges posed by financial regulations, Tottenham’s strong commercial performance should put them in a favorable position to make strategic moves in the transfer market.
