The 21-year-old has banged in seven goals and grabbed 16 assists in 34 appearances for Athletic Bilbao this season across all fronts and is a player that is attracting some of the games biggest clubs.

It is no secret that Enzo Maresca is looking to add some more quality to his attack now that the transfer window is opened up and is keen to bolster his squad with another winger – to help cove injuries etc.

Now According to Spanish publication AS  CHELSEA and Arsenal have put the money on the table, ‘both for the club and for the player.’ And amid the speculation Cucurella has opened up and revealed that he is trying to get his team-mate to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

‘He is a great player, he is bringing out all his potential,’ Cucurella told Spanish outlet SPORT when asked about Williams.

‘It is a source of pride that he is on our team, that he is our teammate and with players like him everything is easier. He would be a great signing [for Barcelona], but it all depends on what he wants. I’ve been telling him to sign for Chelsea…

‘In the end everything depends on him, he is very young, with a lot of experience. I think he will be a great player.’

We have said it before – Williams is a brilliantly gifted player that will join one of the big sides – but a move to the Premier League may be the wrong option for the lad at this stage of his career – staying in La Liga will help his development.

There is alot of pressure playing for CHELSEA – and he could fail to handle that if he comes to England
