the two forwards have propelled Athletic Bilbao to a excellent begin to the season
A year ago the Williams family would not have expected either of their sons to be at the FIFA World Cup™.
Although a star player for Athletic Bilbao, and having recently broken a Spanish league record by playing 203 consecutive matches, Inaki had not featured in a Spain squad since 2016. Younger brother Nico, meanwhile, had just begun his professional career and boasted only a handful of appearances for the same club.
Now the two brothers are both set to head off to Qatar this month for the world’s greatest tournament. However, for once in their lives, they will not be going together.
Inaki will be representing Ghana after finally accepting their offer to switch nationalities from the country of his birth to that of his parents. He made his debut for the Black Stars in September against Nicaragua and also played against Brazil.
