In order to recruit one attacker this summer, Chelsea will need to defeat opposition from Aston Villa, a Premier League competitor.
There are numerous choices available to Mauricio Pochettino.
Both Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer can play on the right, and they’ve been playing there a lot lately. A few days later, the former scored a fantastic goal against Sheffield United, and the latter recently scored a hat-trick against Manchester United.
Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling play on the left for Pochettino, and Nicolas Jackson has also made a few appearances there this year.
However, it appears like Chelsea may still attempt to bolster their offensive when the transfer window opens.
Aston Villa wants to prevail in the race to sign Chelsea.
Compared to Chelsea, Villa is enjoying a far better season. Pochettino’s team is now in ninth place in the rankings, while Unai Emery’s team is outside the top four on goal differential.
By adding more players to his squad in the summer, the Spaniard hopes to capitalize on his success thus far this season.
Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao may be one of the Villa Park arrivals during the upcoming transfer window, according to GiveMeSport.
According to the source, Villa hopes to get the winger’s signature before Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
Prior to this, a journalist asserted that Chelsea was the team waiting to sign Williams.
His contract includes a £43 million release clause, according to the Daily Mirror.
Why Nico Williams is wanted by both Chelsea and Aston Villa
Williams has had a very successful season; last Saturday, he assisted Athletic in winning the Copa del Rey.
Throughout the entire tournament, he made an impression, finishing with three goals and five assists in six games.
The Spain international has also placed in the 94th percentile for successful take-ons and the 94th percentile for progressive carries among offensive midfielders and wingers over the past year (FBref).
He has developed into a serious offensive threat who might be very beneficial to either team.
