Atletico Bilbao young sensation Nico Williams has finally opened up on his decision to chose to represent Spain ahead of the Black Stars of Ghana.
The 20-year-old made his first-ever debut for the Spanish national team in their 2-1 loss to Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League. He came off the bench in the 63rd minute as Spain lost 2-1 against Switzerland.
Despite making his debut for Spain, he is still eligible to play for Ghana per the FIFA regulations following his age.
Nico Williams was born to Ghanaian parents in Bilbao and his elder brother, Iñaki Williams has opted to feature for Ghana.
Inaki also made his first-ever debut for Ghana in a 3-0 loss to Brazil in an international friendly last week.
“It was a natural decision, everyone went their own way and made their decision carefully. I am very happy that my brother is in Ghana, I wish him things to go well, that he can have a great World Cup and achieve the highest goals.”
“I have always been clear that I wanted to be here and I am very happy that Luis Enrique has given me this opportunity, I hope to take advantage of it. As everyone knows, I want to be with the Spanish team and be better, show that I'm worth being here” he added.
