Jürgen Klopp will remain a keen observer of Neco Williams' blossoming career from afar after the full-back completed a permanent transfer to Nottingham Forest.
The Wales international will now continue his development under the management of Steve Cooper at the newly promoted Premier League outfit.
Williams joined the Reds’ Academy set-up at U9 level and progressed right through to the first team, where he made 33 appearances in all competitions across three seasons.
Klopp stressed the decision to allow such a talent to depart the club was one he wrestled with, though ultimately concluded the 21-year-old was more than deserving of regular game time at this stage of his footballing journey.
