Fresh details emerge over £1.5m-per-year contract agreement
Fresh details have emerged over a Liverpool contract for Neco Williams.
The Welshman has impressed everyone with his application and ability over the course of the season, especially after lockdown when the right-back was afforded more first team opportunity.
Neco Williams signed a new five-year deal that ties his future to Merseyside, and now we’re in the position to be able to report the extent of that.
Football Insider wrote that he’ll be paid around £30,000-a-week, which works out at around £1.5m-per-year.
Fans will be excited to watch the second Academy graduate at right-back in the past few years. While Trent Alexander-Arnold will play the majority of games, it’s good to have a capable local lad ready to step into his shoes.
After his handful of appearances, it appears as if the Welshman has convinced Jurgen Klopp that Liverpool don’t need to sign another right-back this summer.
He has, however, brought in cover for Andy Robertson in the shape of Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas and sent Academy graduate Adam Lewis out on loan.
Liverpool look set to get a number of exciting youngsters their chance in the first team. Curtis Jones was another who impressed last season and he’s set for increased responsibility throughout 2020/2021.
Adam Lallana left on a free transfer and it appears as if Jones will be the man who needs to step up and replace the former Southampton man, who will be turning out for Brighton.
It’ll be exciting to see how Williams develops over the next five years, and if he does so at his current rate there’ll be new contracts and more money thrown at him in the future.

It’s the dream to have local-born players in the first team, and Liverpool are in an enviable situation right now as they could have up to three in the side moving forward.
