#5 Inaki Williams
Gareth Bale is synonymous with speed and if Real Madrid replace the Welshman with Inaki Williams they will not be missing the sight of Bale bursting down the right wing anytime soon. The Athletic Bilbao winger has pace to burn, often leaving opponents for dead and at the age of 22, can improve to incredible levels, under the right guidance.
Williams has been one of the best wingers in La Liga this season, being involved in 15 goals (8 assists, 7 goals) this year as Bilbao grow ever more dependent on him. Where the Spanish speedster shines is in a one-on-one situation – he’s completed a staggering 47 take-ons this year, compared to Bale's 26.
The 22-year-old also betters Bale in terms of chances created, with his 35 far outperforming Bale’s 22, even accounting for minutes played. Real Madrid would find it fairly easy to tempt Williams into leaving Bilbao, and with him being almost a like-for-like replacement, it would not require a tactical reshuffle too.
