Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Liverpool and Wales defender Neco Williams on a four-year deal.

The 21-year-old joins for £17m after helping Fulham secure promotion to the Premier League last season having joined the Cottagers on loan from the Anfield club in January.

"I'm really excited to join Forest and to help this great club move forwards in the Premier League," he said.

The right-back is promoted Forest's sixth signing of the transfer window.

“I'm really excited to join Nottingham Forest and to help this great club move forwards in the Premier League," said 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."

Williams will join The Reds at training today ahead of tomorrow's friendly with Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.

“Despite being only 21, Neco has established himself in the Wales starting XI, said Nottingham Forest Head Coach Steve Cooper. “He's played in the Premier League, the Champions League and in World Cup qualifiers in the last 12 months and he is a very talented right back.

“We believe that he's got an incredibly high ceiling and that he can play a huge role for us at Nottingham Forest in our return to the Premier League. We're delighted to have him on board."
