What Will Nico Williams Bring to Barcelona?
After forming one of the best duos in world football with Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams is aiming for Barcelona to strengthen the Catalan team's attack, which is looking to reclaim its place at the top of world football. However, the question arises: what will the player bring?
According to Big Data, Barcelona would be receiving the second-best dribbler in Spain, only behind Vinícius Jr., with 5.3 successful dribbles per 90 minutes. In EURO 2024, Williams was the player with the most attempted dribbles, with 52, though he was the ninth player with the most success in this area.
Additionally, the young Spanish player was also the second winger with the most crosses in LaLiga, behind Savinho, the new Manchester City player, and the second-highest assist provider, only behind Baena from Villarreal.
While his numbers are extraordinary, it is important to note that his goal-scoring record is not the best, as he only scored five goals during the season. In percentage terms, this translates to 25% of his shots ending in goals. The performance stats and offers are on the table. Will Nico Williams finally make it to Barcelona?
