After winning the Spanish Cup (Copa Del Rey) with a man-of-the-match performance in the final last week, a move away from Athletic Club is becoming increasingly likely for the 21-year-old who has been linked with Real Madrid and a number of leading English Premier League sides.
Born in Spain to Ghanaian parents, Nico shares the field with his elder brother Inaki at Athletic Bilbao, creating a compelling family dynamic within the team.
The brothers navigate a unique dynamic at the international level: while Nico represents Spain, Inaki chooses to honour their Ghanaian heritage by playing for the Black Stars of Ghana.
