Liverpool defender Neco Williams wants to leave the club this month – and the club are open to letting him move on.
Sky Sports claim that Williams is worried about his lack of playing time with the World Cup play-offs on the horizon.
Williams doesn’t want to fade out of the reckoning for the Wales national team because of his lack of playing time at Liverpool.
Williams is stuck behind Trent Alexander-Arnold and seemingly has no chance of getting into the Liverpool side.
Liverpool are ‘sympathetic’ to Williams’ cause, and will accept his request to leave if the right offer comes in.
That could be a loan or permanent move, with Liverpool seemingly open to either deal for Williams, who was branded ‘outstanding’ by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earlier this season.
The rise of Conor Bradley at Liverpool means the Reds aren’t completely against losing Williams and promoting the Northern Irishman.
So where could Williams go?
Leeds United and Aston Villa both wanted to sign Williams over the summer and may make sense as destinations this month.
Leeds need more depth at the back and Williams could be their right back of the future.
Villa do have Matty Cash at right back, but Williams can offer great competition under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool will manage to bring in considerable funds for Williams, and that could help any incoming moves for Jurgen Klopp this month.
