Dean Smith’s Aston Villa side are being reckoned as one of the clubs strongly interested in securing the services of Liverpool’s wantaway defensive talent Neco Williams this summer.
The Wales international has been shockingly linked with a departure from Merseyside ahead of the next season’s start with a couple of Premier League clubs making their interest known in him.
The Athletic’s journalist James Pearce while speaking on the Kop End Fracas podcast has claimed that the 20-year-old Reds defender is subject to interest from the Villa Park outfit who are backed to spend big in the transfer market.
Villa have been linked with a big-money move for Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham as well with the England international out of favour with the new boss Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.
With Dean Smith saying his goodbyes to the long-serving Ahmed Elmohamady, he has seemingly eyed up Williams as his top target despite the youngster being the deputy to Trent Alexander-Arnold on Merseyside these past couple of seasons.
