Nottingham Forest could have one less rival when it comes to their pursuit of Liverpool defender Neco Williams.
The Reds are said to have seen an opening bid rejected for the Wales international, having put forward an initial offer of £11 million, with extras worth about £4m. Liverpool reportedly want “a larger guaranteed sum” closer to their £15m valuation.
But Forest are not the only club keen on the 21-year-old. Southampton have been credited with an interest, as have Fulham, after Williams spent the second half of last season on loan at Craven Cottage.
