Forest's Williams eyed by Premier League clubs

[BBC] Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, with Newcastle among the teams interested in the Wales international. Williams is currently in talks over a new deal with Forest - but a number of top-flight rivals are keen on the 25-year-old. It is understood Newcastle and Manchester United are among the clubs to have registered an interest in Williams while talks over a new contract continue. Forest remain confident of securing a new deal but the interest in the full-back does create a potential obstacle to a successful conclusion of talks. Williams still has three years to run on his current deal but Forest want to reward him for his impressive displays last season with an improved contract. Williams joined Forest in July 2022 for a fee of £12m and has since gone on to make over 150 appearances for the club.
