Neco Williams believes his decision to quit Liverpool on loan has already been vindicated after less than two months.
The Reds’ academy graduate has made 33 appearances for the Anfield club but the right-back, 20, who can also play on the left, reckons he had to quit for regular games in January with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of him in Jurgen Klopp's pecking order. Williams opted for Fulham and has made nine starts for the runaway Championship leaders, where he has contributed two goals and two assists already. Williams, preparing for Wales' World Cup play-off semi-final, assessed: “I’m really enjoying it.
“As footballers, you just want to play as much football as possible. For me at Liverpool, it’s going to be limited game-time because of the players ahead of me and the world-class players I’m with. Coming to Wales previously has been about trying to keep up fitness but for this camp I’m playing regular football, enjoying it, scoring, assisting, so it’s going well and I feel I’m in the best possible shape I can be in.
