Liverpool accept bid for Neco Williams but one hurdle remains in £17m deal

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest for the sale of Neco Williams, though the Wales international is yet to agree personal terms with the newly-promoted Premier League side.

The ECHO understands the Reds have accepted a bid from the Tricky Trees, with the overall package worth around £17m.

The 21-year-old is currently back in Liverpool but on extended leave, having helped Wales qualify for the World Cup last month, following the Reds’ return for pre-season on Monday, and was scheduled to link up with Jurgen Klopp ’s side on Saturday when they fly out to Bangkok for the start of their pre-season tour.

However, while a deal is agreed between the two clubs, personal terms still need to be addressed. The defender spent the second half of last season on loan with Fulham, helping them win promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners, but now looks set to move to their fellow newly-promoted side.

Should Williams agree terms, he is poised to follow Sadio Mane , Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi out of the Anfield exit door as a result, with a £17m package set to take Liverpool’s overall incomings from player sales this summer to a potential £67.5m including add-ons.
