Harry Wilson has issued a hopeful come-and-get-him plea to Fulham for Liverpool’s Neco Williams. Wilson opened up on the half-season spent with Williams in London as the pair led Fulham to Premier League promotion under Marco Silva. The Fulham star, who made two appearances for the Reds and joined the Cottagers permanently having initially joined on loan last summer, a dmitted Williams’ decision to leave the Anfield confines in January in a hunt for first-team football was not without Wilson’s influence.
Harry Wilson said: “Obviously, Neco had the option halfway through the year to get some game time with Fulham and I spoke to him beforehand. I thought the way we played, the style of football at Fulham, suited him and he came in in January and it was like he had been there for the full year. He’d done really well, managed to get a couple of assists, few goals as well, lots of minutes under his belt.”
While Wilson has also voiced hope that Williams might follow in his footsteps by leaving Liverpool and returning to the Londoners next season.
Harry Wilson said: “Neco was at a similar age that I was when I had my first loan to Hull, and I feel like when you’re at that age, 20-21, when you need to get first-team football. He was in a decent position at Liverpool to learn from the best right-back in the world but it came a point where he had to go get minutes for himself and it has benefited him massively. Everyone can see that when he puts on a Wales shirt. I think we can see from his performance the other day that did him a world of good,” Wilson said. “And who knows? Maybe he can come back next year.”
Williams’ half-season loan to Fulham marked the sharpest and most blistering form of the 21-year-old’s senior career as he topped it off with promotion to the Premier League.
