King implores Tottenham to give up on signing Nico Williams in favor of a Premier League star
Bryan King thinks Tottenham should preserve their money and use it to recruit Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea, instead of signing Nico Williams.
The former Spurs scout believes that the North London team would be better served by allocating a significant portion of their transfer budget to a center player, like Gallagher, as opposed to a wide player, like Williams.
It follows news from The Telegraph on April 9th that the forward for Athletic Bilbao has a buyout clause in his contract for £42.8 million. Spurs are among the Premier League teams that might activate the clause.
Despite rumored interest in the 24-year-old, King would prefer to see Gallagher moved to North London, according to an exclusive interview with Tottenham News.
Williams’ singing, in King’s opinion, wouldn’t be a prudent investment for Tottenham.
“The team now has enough wide players; I don’t see the need to get another one.
“Tottenham should put more of its money toward acquiring center players for both midfield and offense.
“I wouldn’t pay £42.8 million to be focused on Williams,” Invest that money on something else, like Gallagher.
