Wales boss Giggs confident England won't tempt away Liverpool fullback Williams

Wales boss Ryan Giggs is hopeful that he can convince Liverpool youngster Neco Williams to pick his nation.

Williams has a choice between Wales and England for his international career.

The 18-year-old has played for the Liverpool first team when they have used squads with majority youth players.

And Giggs has admitted he is already looking at Neco as a possible Wales star.

"We are looking at Neco because he is playing for a brilliant team at the moment and he has done really well when he has stepped up," Giggs told BBC Sport Wales.

"When a player makes a few appearances in such a big club like Liverpool, he is suddenly catapulted into the public eye.

"He is a fantastic player, still young and still learning, but the energy and quality he has shown when he has stepped up into the first team has been really good, so it's exciting."
