Nottingham Forest are said to have had an opening bid rejected for Liverpool defender Neco Williams.
The Reds are in need of right-back reinforcements as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. And with a string of suitors for Djed Spence, following his impressive loan spell at the City Ground, Williams is a target for head coach Steve Cooper.
Forest submitted an initial offer of approximately £11million, with extras worth about £4m, according to Sun journalist Alan Nixon. But that has reportedly been turned down.

Lowe latest
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has addressed the future of Max Lowe following his loan spell at Nottingham Forest.
The Reds are believed to have seen a £2 million bid for the defender rejected in January. But Heckingbottom says the Blades have received no offers since the summer transfer window opened.
Although his time at the City Ground was hampered by injuries, Lowe was a key player for Forest as they secured promotion to the Premier League. After being sidelined since March, he came off the bench for the final 15 minutes at Wembley as a return to the top-flight was sealed with victory over Huddersfield Town.
Left-back is an area head coach Steve Cooper will look to strengthen as he gears up for the upcoming campaign. And earlier in the year, Lowe made clear his desire to secure a permanent move Trentside.
Spence situation
Defender Djed Spence’s future remains up in the air after his heroics for Nottingham Forest.
The Middlesbrough loanee enjoyed a standout season at the City Ground, playing a key part in the Reds’ promotion success. And the end of his spell has left head coach Steve Cooper with a void to fill ahead of the step up to the Premier League.
Spence attracted a long list of admirers with his impressive performances for Forest. A number of teams in the UK and abroad were tracking the right-back.
According to ESPN, Tottenham Hotspur are “still leading the race”. However, the Reds, Brentford and Borussia Dortmund, among others, are said to remain keen.
Gibbs-White stance
Wolverhampton Wanderers are said to be hopeful of hanging on to Nottingham Forest target Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.
Forward Taiwo Awoniyi became the Reds’ first signing of the transfer window when he penned a five-year deal from Union Berlin at the weekend. But boss Steve Cooper will look to bolster his attacking resources further ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Forest are keen on attacking midfielder Gibbs-White, who impressed on loan at Sheffield United last term. But they could face a fight to secure his signature.
Amid suggestions of a £20million price tag, the 22-year-old has two years left to run on his current contract with Wolves. He is said to have been offered fresh terms last month, but has not yet put pen to paper.
