Andy Robertson has told Liverpool’s official website that Neco Williams has been amazing in training all season.
Williams has only made five Premier League appearances for Liverpool all season, with most of those opportunities coming recently.
But Robertson insists that the youngster has really caught his eye away from the pitch.
And he feels that Williams could have an extremely bright future ahead at Anfield.
“I’ve spoken to him, I’ve given him small pointers but I’m not sure he needs them, because he’s got so much ability and so much energy, so much confidence in his own ability that he’ll have a fantastic career in the game,” Robertson said.
“I hope he keeps on gaining that experience and keeps getting the game time because that’s so important for him.
“He’s been amazing in training all season so I’m glad he’s starting to get his reward with making his debut, getting his first start and then getting a couple of consecutive starts under his belt.
“So, he’s been great the games he’s played, it’s a great learning curve for him.”
Williams’s ability to play in either of the full-back positions makes him a potentially valuable squad member for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Despite only being 19, Williams has certainly not looked out of place in Liverpool’s first-team with his performances seriously impressing.
The Welsh international’s crossing ability has really come to the fore in recent weeks, but he has also proven to be very solid defensively.
With Liverpool seemingly not looking to invest heavily in the summer, Williams now appears to have moved right up in the pecking order at Anfield, and it is expected that he will play more regularly next term, should Robertson or Trent Alexander-Arnold pick up an injury.
