Neco Williams has signed for Nottingham Forest from Liverpool, adding to their impressive transfer window this summer. The youngster has been officially announced by the newly promoted side, and he will be expected to have more game time at City Ground than at Anfield.

“I’m really excited to join Nottingham Forest and to help this great club move forwards in the Premier League,” said Neco Williams.

“Forest are a club with incredible history and The City Ground is a very special venue that I can’t wait to experience in full voice in the coming weeks. Having spoken to the Head Coach, there’s a huge amount of ambition being shown at the club and I can’t wait to join up with my new teammates and get ready for the challenge ahead.”

Neco Williams has just completed medical tests and signed contract as new Nottingham Forest player. Total fee will be £17.5m, add-ons included. Liverpool will also have 15% sell-on clause. 🚨 #NFFC

Neco Williams signs for Nottingham Forest

It would have been difficult for Williams to get regular playing time at Liverpool with the presence of Trent Alexander-Arnold at the club. As a result, the young right-back has decided to join an exciting new squad as they hope to make a mark in the Premier League.

He recently helped Wales qualify for the World Cup later this year, and has been able to establish himself as a regular in the national team. With more experience on the pitch, Steve Cooper believes that he can become a very good player by the end of the season. Williams joins Omar Richards through the door as a new signing for the Reds.
