Liverpool youngster Williams reveals prominent Wilson role in Fulham loan succees

Neco Williams has revealed how important Harry Wilson has been to his success at Fulham this season.

The Liverpool loanee joined Fulham on loan during the January transfer window and has since made 14 appearances for the Cottagers, who secured promotion to the Premier League last week.

Wilson left Liverpool for Fulham on a permanent deal at the start of the season and the two Reds academy graduates have rekindled their friendship in west London.

"Having him there has made it 100% easier," Williams said of Wilson, via the Liverpool Echo. "When Fulham were interested, I gave him a quick call and spoke about their plans and he couldn't praise the club enough, and he dragged me in.

"It's been a massive help, I played with him at Liverpool and at Wales, so I know the kind of player he is and I know him well. It was a long journey down, I got to the training ground, gave him a call and he came out, met me and then brought me into the ground.

"He got me settled in with the team and helped me get to know them all. If you look at his stats as well, what he's done this season is incredible. Being nominated as the Championship player of the season, just shows his ability and shows what quality he has."
