In the 2024-2025 season, Iñaki Williams has solidified his reputation as a dynamic force for Athletic Club, demonstrating a well-rounded attacking style of play that's been pivotal in La Liga. At 30, Williams brings a blend of maturity and versatility, seamlessly transitioning between roles as a right winger, midfielder, and striker. Notably, his ability in chance creation and assists is exceptional, ranking him in the top tier among his peers. This knack for setting up goals, paired with his solid goal threat and commendable goal-scoring metrics, makes him a dual threat in the final third.
However, despite his efficiency in attacking scenarios and high assist rate, Williams struggles with ball retention and passing accuracy, indicating possible issues under pressure or in maintaining possession. Such weaknesses are noticeably contrasted by his proficiency in progressive carrying, suggesting he's more comfortable advancing with the ball than dispatching passes. This could hint at a style of play that's direct and focused on immediate attacking moves rather than intricate build-ups. Though his touch frequency is low, his output in xA and shots per match reveals a player who's decisive when opportunities arise, aligning perfectly with his direct attacking approach. Overall, Iñaki Williams remains a vital cog in Athletic Club's machinery, continually defying expectations with his impactful presence despite his shortcomings in distribution.
