Inaki Williams wins African MVP in La Liga

Ghanaian striker, Inaki Williams, has been crowned the La Liga EA Sports African MVP for the 2023/24 season for his exceptional performance in Spain's top-flight football.

Inaki dazzled fans by scoring 12 times in 34 league matches, which proved crucial for Athletic Bilbao.

The striker earned 46 of the votes, capturing 24% of the total votes, while his closest contender, Brahim Diaz, earned 37 points and Youssef En-Nesyri of Sevilla FC was not far behind with 30 points.

During the award presentation, Williams noted the importance of representing the African continent in La Liga.

"Thank you very much for the acknowledgement. It is an honour to represent all African players in La Liga. My roots in Ghana are as deep as my love for Bilbao and Athletic Club. I hope to be in contention for this same award next season," he said.

Inaki Williams' season was marked by more than just league success; he was instrumental in Athletic Bilbao's Copa del Rey victory, their first in four decades, and also scored his 100th goal for Bilbao this season.
