Liverpool sent transfer instruction as Nottingham Forest bid 'rejected'

Liverpool supporters are on board with full-back Neco Williams leaving the club this summer amid reports that Nottingham Forest have had an £11 million transfer bid 'rejected' by Jurgen Klopp's side for the player.

The Wales international is the latest name to be linked with an exit from Anfield, with Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and just yesterday Takumi Minamino all securing transfers away from Liverpool this month. Williams is widely expected to be the next out of the door, but Forest apparently face competition from Championship champions Fulham to secure the signing.

Should the 21-year-old end up at the City Ground, then the defender would take up the right-back role, as last season's loanee Djed Spence far from certain to return following their promotion to the Premier League. Forest boss Steve Cooper worked with Williams while an academy coach in the North West, and the player is said to be 'keen' to rekindle that relationship.

An initial offer submitted by Forest worth approximately £11m, with extras worth about £4m, has reportedly been rejected, with Liverpool wanting closer to their £15m asking price guaranteed. The club's fans, though, see an exit for the youngster as a matter of when rather than if.

Lucky Zizzy: Most definitely he should be gone before the end of the month.

Bill Jones: Calvin Ramsey clears him.

Bra Kweku: Sell Neco Williams.

Mifi Kay: Should put a sell-on clause on Neco Williams too. He's got some potential.

Bailey: He’s got raw potential but he’s never gonna make it at Liverpool, due to the fact of Trent and Calvin Ramsey, he’ll only play for the cup games for us. Neco needs to be playing a lot more regularly and he’s versatile he did have a good loan spell at Fulham.
