“When I was six years old, I loved Asamoah Gyan. He is the best striker [I have seen]. He scored a lot of goals,” Williams said in an interview with 3Sports.
“I watched a lot of his matches and try to transmit his style to my football. I practised to be like him and try to score goals like him,” he added.
The highly-rated youngster had a successful 2021/22 season with The Lions where he made 39 appearances and scored three goals for the Basque-based club.
The Athletic Bilbao player is reportedly attracting interest from English Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool.
