Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have received bids from Nottingham Forest and Fulham for Neco Williams, according to LFC Transfer Room.

The report has claimed that Williams wants to leave Liverpool for more playing time, and that Premier League newcomers Forest and Fulham have made offers for him.

Crystal Palace are also keen on the Wales international right-back, according to the report, which has added that Liverpool are looking for £15 million for him.

Bids from Forest and Fulham ‘are in the £12m-£15m range including add-ons which would satisfy Liverpool’, according to LFC Transfer Room.

Neco Williams should leave Liverpool

In our view, Neco Williams should leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

Described as “outstanding” by Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the club’s official website in December 2021, Williams is a Wales international who will play for his country at the 2022 World Cup finals.

To be in good form in Qatar, the 21-year-old needs to play regularly in the opening months of next season.

And that is not going to happen at Liverpool, who have Trent Alexander-Arnold as their number one right-back.

Williams spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham from Liverpool and helped them win promotion to the Premier League.

A season-long loan deal or a permanent transfer to Fulham would not be a bad move for the 21-year-old Liverpool right-back.
