Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams admits he may end up leaving the club in the near future.

The 22-year-old was linked with the likes of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Arsenal throughout the summer before committing to the Basque giants.

He spoke to DAZN about his future, and said: "My heart is in Bilbao, but nobody knows what will happen in the future.

"It is always good when big clubs show interest. But I've always said I want to be here. If I heard anything, it was from my agent. But I wanted to play in Europe with Bilbao."

Williams' current deal with Athletic Bilbao expires in 2027.
