Right now, plenty of Leeds United fans are expecting the Whites to make a play for a new left-back. However, recent events have opened the door to one of the most promising right-backs in the Premier League at the moment.
Following his solid performances in the Euros for Wales, it’s been widely reported that Liverpool’s Neco Williams may want a move away from Anfield as first-team appearances continue to allude him due to the brilliance of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds are said to be willing to listen to offers of around £10m for the Welshman who can also play left-back.
According to Goal, in the wake of this news, Leeds have approached the former Premier League Champions to make enquiries about taking on the 20-year-old. That said, Marcelo Bielsa’s side face stern competition for the fullback from plenty of Premier League rivals including the likes of Wolves, Aston Villa and Southampton.
Williams received a Premier League medal in 2019/20 having made six appearances in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign. This came after he announced himself with a match-saving assist against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup as the winger turned fullback underlined his creativity. His quality convinced Jurgen Klopp to let go of fellow youngster Ki-Jana Hoever ahead of last season however it now appears that Williams is also on his way out.
The Welshman has Champions League experience playing and assisting in Liverpool’s group stage win over Atlanta last season. His attention will now be on the Round of 16 with Wales but the promising defender’s future remains up in the air.
