A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that Reds academy ace Neco Williams has signed a new contract at Anfield.
The 19-year-old defender joined Liverpool’s academy as a six-year-old and has progressed through the ranks, culminating in a great breakthrough season last time out.
