5 exciting wingers that could be brilliant playing as strikers

#2 Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao and Spain)

Williams' has already shown his ability to play as a striker this season

The Spanish youngster shares so many characteristics with Ronaldo; pace, intelligence, power, skill. He could with the right coaching imitate the Portuguese superstar's success in a striking role.

Pacy, strong and intelligent, Iñaki is already evolving into a fulltime centre-forward. This is a position that many feel he should be playing more of. Athletic Bilbao manager Eduardo Berizzo has deployed the 24-year-old as a central striker this season.

While it is still a work in progress, there are signs that Williams may grow into the role. His hold-up play is improving and his pace is helping the team stretch opposing defences. His ability to contest for balls in the air has been not been properly utilized before due to his place on the wing.

Regular LaLiga watchers will attest to the fact that there are still quite a number of flaws in his game that need to be addressed. However, he has shown already that with consistent game time in the striker's role, he can deliver. Inaki has already recorded a goal and two assists (he got the assists in a single game against SD Huesca while playing as a striker).
