What happened. Chelsea are reportedly showing an interest in Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams ahead of the January transfer window. The Spain international has long been linked with bigger clubs, and Chelsea appear to be stepping up their interest.

• The report comes via Fichajes, a gossip-leaning source.
• Williams has been linked with bigger clubs before without a move materialising.
• The link hints a current Chelsea wide player could be on the way out.

If Chelsea firm up their interest, it could signal an exit for one of their current wide attackers.
