Nottingham Forest fans have given their reaction to the club’s interest in Liverpool full-back Neco Williams.
Reports over the weekend linked the Reds with a move for the Wales international with speculation surrounding the future of Djed Spence. NottinghamshireLive understands that the interest in Williams is real with Forest also taking an interest in Manchester City full-back Issa Kabore.
It is said that Williams would cost in the region of £15 million, less than Middlesbrough's asking price for Spence. Although Liverpool are not desperate to sell this summer, the arrival of Calvin Ramsey, who looks set to move from Aberdeen, could make a sale more likely.

Williams impressed in a loan spell with Fulham during the second half of the season. He has also caught the eye while on international duty with Wales over the current break, the full-back setting up Brennan Johnson for his first international goal vs Belgium on Saturday.
A move for the 21-year-old could be made should Forest miss out on a move for Spence, with developments over his future expected over the next 48 hours. He is currently on international duty with England U21s, where he could feature vs Slovenia tonight (Monday).
Following the links to Williams, Forest fans took to social media to give their verdict. With some noticing a link up between the full-back and Johnson, here’s what just some had to say.
Will H : One of the signings of the summer if we get him in. All round better defender than Spence imo and the link up play with Brennan will be good for Forest and Wales.
Wellesbournered : He plays LWB for Wales and looked strong in their recent games. I think he should be looked at whether we get Spence or not
Shaun : Great player. Be happy with him or Spence. Heart says Spence though.
John : Nico Williams for 10/15m > Djed for 20/25m May upset a few but I think they are both as good as eachother #nffc
Simon Holbrook : With the way things are going if we sign Neco Williams I'll be supporting Wales at the World Cup instead of England!......
NFFC only : We could possibly buy maitland Nile’s and neco Williams for a little bit less than Spence . What a pair of WB’s that would be
Michael Cooper : Great goal by Johno created by Williams Go get him Forest #nffc
Daniel R Evans : We need Neco Williams #NFFC
Peter Clarke : I’m loving links to top right-backs like Neco Williams from Liverpool. Hope we sign him but feel we all forgetting fact we need 2 left-backs to compete properly in Premiership. Love Colback but need proper LB & LWB next season #NFFC
