Raheem Sterling, a winger for Chelsea, has not played well this year, and there have been rumors that he might be traded at the end of the campaign.
In all competitions, the 29-year-old has eight goals and nine assists, but his overall play has been very lackluster. The 29-year-old England international is unlikely to improve, therefore it could be a good idea to choose a younger attacker in his place.
The winger for Athletic Club Bilbao, Nico Williams, has now been recommended by journalist Dean Jones to Give Me Sport as a possible Sterling replacement at Stamford Bridge. When the season comes to a close, it will be intriguing to see if Chelsea is willing to cash in on the England international.
Despite all of the Chelsea fanfare, we should not forget that Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Spurs have all had their sights set on him as well. However, if Raheem Sterling does end up departing in the summer, which is a possibility, this is a fantastic guy to consider as a replacement.
Nico Williams is a player in demand
Williams has been in fine form in the Spanish league this season, scoring six goals and picking up 12 assists across all competitions. He has a €50 million release clause in his contract and the 21-year-old certainly has the ability to justify the investment in the coming seasons.
Chelsea are not the only English club linked with the player and the likes of Aston Villa, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal are all keeping tabs on his situation. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Chelsea have lacked sharpness going forward and Williams will certainly add more cutting edge in the final third. He will add explosive pace, goals and flair to the side. The 21-year-old is still quite young and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He has all the tools to develop into a top class Premier League attacker.
