Ryan Taylor of Express Sport has the latest City Ground news …
Liverpool defender Neco Williams, valued at £ 15m by the Reds, has become the top right-back for Nottingham Forest when looking for a replacement for Djed Spence. Fulham are also interested in the Welshman after his impressive loan at Craven Cottage, but Marco Silva’s side are also exploring a deal for Kevin Mbabu of Wolfsburg.
So far, there has been no follow-up from Forest following his consultation with Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Manchester City’s Issa Kabore is another possibility and his agent Revien Kanhai has been discussing his client’s options with Premier League champions this week during face-to-face discussions.
Forest still want to sign midfielder Moussa Niakhate, but Mainz are frustrated with the opening offer of the new boys in the Premier League, which has deteriorated relations.
Joe Rodon of Tottenham is another name of interest for Steve Cooper, who coached him during his time at Swansea City.
