Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella was in stunning form at the backend of last season, and has taken that form to the Spain national team.

Cucurella has now revealed he has urged his Spanish teammate Nico Williams, to rather sign for Chelsea and snub Barcelona.

Cucurella began his professional career at Barcelona, but only made one appearance for the Spanish giants before leaving in 2019 for Getafe. He’d then move to Brighton and now Chelsea.

Athletic Club star Nico Williams has been a shining light in Euro 2024, and has been linked with a move to Barcelona.

However, Cucurella has said he had told Nico Williams to rather sign for Chelsea.

“He is a great player, he is bringing out all his potential,” Cucurella told Spanish outlet SPORT when asked about Williams.

“It is a source of pride that he is on our team, that he is our teammate and with players like him everything is easier.

“He would be a great signing [for Barcelona], but it all depends on what he wants. I’ve been telling him to sign for Chelsea…

“In the end everything depends on him, he is very young, with a lot of experience. I think he will be a great player.”
