Liverpool get linked with so many players that you have to wonder from where all the stories originate. The latest rumour almost feels like a case of wires getting crossed somewhere along the line.
The Reds have been repeatedly linked with Inaki Williams over the years. Until his recent move to Nottingham Forest, they had a player called Neco Williams. Mash the two together and you might get Nico Williams, Inaki’s younger brother and the latest player said to be on Liverpool’s transfer radar.
The story appeared in Fichajes a few weeks ago and now AS are getting in on the act. They make clear that Liverpool are not looking to activate Williams’ 50 million euros release clause this summer, which makes sense. What makes this link intriguing is that the 20-year-old winger has made 36 La Liga appearances without registering a single goal or assist.
