Liverpool set Neco Williams price, but won't...

Liverpool aren't pushing Neco Williams out the exit door.

The Liverpool Echo says they have slapped a £15million price tag on Williams as they prepare for an influx of interest in the right-back.

Williams has seen his stock rise considerably following an impressive loan spell during the second half of the season at Fulham, whom he helped to the Championship title and seal promotion to the Premier League.

The 21-year-old was also part of the Wales team that on Sunday beat Ukraine 1-0 to clinch qualification to the World Cup for the first time in 64 years.

Liverpool have already fielded a number of calls regarding Williams, with Fulham among those looking to seal a permanent transfer with Cottagers boss Marco Silva having previously expressed his admiration.

And while the Reds want £15m for his services - similar to the asking price for Nat Phillips, who shone in a similar loan move to Bournemouth - they will be more than happy to keep a player who came through the Academy ranks and has made 33 senior appearances, although he has played only 84 minutes in the Premier League since December 2020 with Trent Alexander-Arnold the clear first-choice right-back.
