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.
