Nottingham Forest moving to sign Neco Williams has been described as "amazing business" for Liverpool.
The full-back is expected to be the next signing through the door at the City Ground. He will bolster the full-back ranks after the arrival of Omar Richards from Bayern Munich this weekend.
According to former Leeds, Coventry and Derby midfielder Noel Whelan, the situation is a "win-win" for both clubs, with Liverpool getting a respectable fee for an academy graduate and Forest securing the services of an impressive player.

“It’s amazing business, isn’t it?,” Whelan told Football Insider. “It’s a testament to their academy as well for bringing a player like Williams through.
“It’s what it’s all about for an academy of Liverpool’s size – getting these players out on loan, proving themselves, and selling for a big profit. To generate that amount of money on a youth product is invaluable to the football club – and it just shows that what they are doing is working.
“It’s a win-win for player and club. Liverpool get a great fee, great business – and the player gets to go to a club with great history and an exciting season ahead. Forest will want to stay in the division, but if they do go down they’re building a good team for good money – which will give them a great chance of bouncing back.”
