In a major coup for Athletic Bilbao, Spanish football sensation Inaki Williams has played a pivotal role in securing the signing of Liverpool's highly-touted young talent, Elijah Gift.
Williams' relentless pursuit and persuasive charm have paved the way for an exciting new chapter in Gift's promising career, as the 19-year-old prodigy prepares to embark on a thrilling adventure in the heartland of Basque football.
Gift has only followed one first team football player on his various social media platforms for an extended period of time, and that player is Inaki Williams. He always considered the Ghanaian international to be his idol, but now he sees him as much more. A few months earlier, when the signing was already well underway, they got the chance to meet.
In the last days of the 2022/23 LaLiga, Gift visited Bilbao to view the rojiblancas' facilities and went to a game at San Mamés. After the game, he had a chance to see Inaki in person. They exchanged greetings and the striker handed him his shirt.
