CLARY/AFP/Getty Images Liverpool interested in signing Nico Williams againBack in April 2023, it was reported that Liverpool were interested in bringing Williams to Anfield.Jurgen Klopp was, of course, still in charge of the Merseyside outfit at the time, with it said he viewed the Spaniard as a long-term successor to Salah.Well, just over three years later, the transfer chiefs at Liverpool may well be agreeing with Klopp.TeamTalk have produced a report covering the interest in Williams, with a number of Premier League clubs said to be keen.Arsenal have the World Cup star high on their list of attacking reinforcements.Meanwhile, it is understood that ‘Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are all being kept informed of Williams’ situation’.For the time being, though, it is said that Williams is focused on the World Cup and achieving success with Spain.Given they are expected to go deep into this summer’s tournament, that probably means a transfer to any club will not happen until the back end of July at the earliest.Williams scored six and assisted seven for Athletic Bilbao during the 2025/26 season, but he was primarily used as a left-winger.In turn, Liverpool may well want to sign another forward who can feature on the right as well.On that front, the aforementioned Diomande remains a target, but a move was not completed before the World Cup, meaning that like Williams, the Reds could be waiting until after his country are knocked out to finalise a transfer.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
