Spanish goal poacher with Ghanaian descent, Nico Williams has expressed his admiration for former captain of the Ghana Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan and how he wanted to be like the Baby Jet.
The Spanish born Ghanaian helped the Spain national team to win the European Championship few days ago after a thrilling performance in the knockout phase.
During his last visit to Ghana, the Athletic Bilbao player had left the door open on his international future with both the Black Stars and La Roja (Spanish national team) being potential destinations but unfortunately for Ghana, he chose Spain while his elder brother chose to represent Ghana.

Meanwhile, Nico Williams had a standout performance in the Spain jersey in the recently ended UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany.
He was named man of the match (MOTM) in the final against England after scoring the game-winning goal for La Roja.
