Neco Williams makes permanent move to Nottingham Forest
Neco Williams has today completed a permanent transfer from Liverpool to Nottingham Forest.
The Wales international bids farewell to the club having made 33 first-team appearances and picked up Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup and Carabao Cup winner's medals.
“It’s wonderful news for Neco – a perfect move in many ways,” said Jurgen Klopp to Liverpoolfc.com. “He’s a bright, exciting talent and he’s going to a club that is upwardly mobile in this moment.
“I am a big fan of their manager and he knows Neco from when he coached at our Academy. I think they’ll be ideal for each other.
“He’s achieved so much already but there is even more to come. Premier League and Champions League experience for us; a promotion last season with Fulham, who looked after him superbly, I must say; a contributor to our trophy wins for sure; one of Wales’ most important players and going to a World Cup.
“It’s not easy to let him leave if I’m being honest, but he deserves to be playing regularly and he’s earned the right to be ready for his international team for this tournament coming in the winter.
“We wish him success and look forward to seeing him continue on his journey, albeit now from a distance.”
Williams is a 𝐑𝐞𝐝 ❤️
