Fulham complete loan deal for Liverpool defender Williams

Fulham have signed Neco Williams on loan for the remainder of the season from Liverpool.

The attacking right-back has made 13 first-team appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The 20-year-old is capped at international level for Wales. He has scored two goals in 17 appearances since making his debut in 2020.

The Wrexham-born player will replace Denis Odoi, who signed for Club Brugge on deadline day for an undisclosed fee.

Tony Khan, director of football operations, said: “Neco [Williams] is a great young talent and I’m delighted to welcome him to Fulham for the rest of the season.

“It’s important, especially with Denis now leaving the club, to bring in a player of Neco’s quality to ensure the strength of the squad.”
