Williams deserves some first-team football and proved he has the talent to mix it at the top level of English football in brief cameos for Jurgen Klopp’s team over the last few seasons.
The Welshman flourished during his spell at Fulham, where he helped the club gain promotion to the Premier League; this will do no harm in Liverpool selling the defender for a higher price.
It seems inevitable now with Calvin Ramsay’s arrival that Williams is nearing the Anfield exit door, it’s a shame to see the talented youngster leave the club, however, for the right price, this is a good move for all parties.
