The 20-year-old joined Dortmund in 2020 from Manchester City's academy and broke into the first team in 2022. He has made 91 appearances for the team, scoring 16 goals and assisting 14 times. He is currently contracted to the German side until the summer of 2028.

The talented forward has attracted the interest of Barcelona, Chelsea, and Arsenal after his fine campaign with Dortmund. However, his potential fee could rule La Blaugrana out of a move for his services. The Catalan side are also linked with moves for Rafael Leao and Luis Diaz.

"I've always had things very clear and I think people see that. I think I'm doing really well and trying to take Athletic to the top in Spain and in Europe, with that final in San Mames that excites us so much. That's the only thing that matters now," Williams added.

Barcelona and Arsenal will keep tabs on the talented forward with an eye towards a move in the summer. He is contracted to Athletic Bilbao until the summer of 2027. He scored 24 goals and assisted 31 times in 152 games for his boyhood club, and helped them to the Copa del Rey title last season.
