Hailed by Steven Gerrard is Neco Williams Liverpool’s next Trent-Alexander-Arnold?
Wales’ under-19 side have been in action recently, hoping to qualify for the UEFA Under-19 Championships. One of the players who has been catching the eye with his displays has been Liverpool talent Neco Williams.
The right-back, who can also play in midfield, scored in the 2-1 defeat to Scotland last week and then helped his nation to a 2-1 win over Sweden at the weekend.
Such form certainly caught the eye of plenty, with Williams displays impressing.
It also saw the 17-year-old continue what has been a good run of form recently for Liverpool. He has impressed in the UEFA Youth League this season, with Liverpool facing the youngsters from Red Star Belgrade, Napoli and PSG.
The turnaround for the player is even more impressive considering his recent injury record. The talented utility man missed half of last season with a troublesome back injury before coming back and impressing for the under-18s.
“Neco is probably four or five games short of being 100% but I thought he was terrific…
“He was magnificent. I was excited about him last season when I shadowed (former u-18 boss) Neil Critchley. He was giving a couple of years away in that team.
“Now I am excited to have him back. He deserves a lot of praise for that performance.”
Such form and resilience even earned him special praise from club legend Steven Gerrard.
Williams is now back and firing for club and country. Considering the impact Trent Alexander-Arnold has had in such a short space of time the teenager will surely be thinking of a potential future in the Liverpool first-team.
He has the backing of Gerrard and Liverpool fans should keep tabs on the youngster.
