Liverpool fullback Neco Williams: England made approach

Liverpool fullback Neco Williams admits he turned down an approach from England to commit to Wales.

Now one of Anfield's brightest young talents hopes to continue his rapid progress with a full debut against Bulgaria at Cardiff City Stadium.

Williams made his Wales debut off the bench in the 1-0 Nations League win in Finland on Thursday.

He said: “I spoke to the gaffer and said my intentions were with Wales.

“Hopefully I can get as many caps as I can for Wales and keep progressing.

“As a young kid, you always dream of making your debut. This is only the start for me."

Williams also stated: “England were trying to snap at me but I wasn't having any of it."
