# Liverpool: Fans react to Neco Williams update

**Liverpool youngster Neco Williams is reportedly set to stay at Anfield for the 2021/22 season, despite previous claims that he could depart on loan this summer.**

Williams has made [25 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neco-williams/leistungsdaten/spieler/503680) for Liverpool’s first-team, which includes 14 from the 2020/21 season, in which the senior squad struggled with a number of injury problems.

[Reports](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-liverpool-defender-wanted-loan-deal-norwich-burnley) since emerged that Williams could leave the club in search of regular game time, but [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2763050/2021/08/10/liverpool-must-turn-back-into-mentality-monsters-to-go-toe-to-toe-with-man-city/) now claim that the Welshman is set to remain at Anfield for the upcoming league campaign, which gets underway this weekend.

Speaking in an interview with Love Sport Radio ([via TBR Football](https://tbrfootball.com/been-superb-pundit-raves-about-liverpool-18-year-old-who-klopp-deemed-super/)), former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland labelled Williams as ‘superb’ for his performances when called up, and it now looks as though he will have a chance to stay and prove the former Red right.

Plenty of Liverpool supporters took to social media to react to this reported update on Williams’ future with the club, with a number of fans being left frustrated.

Take a look at the best of the reaction from the [Anfield Watch Twitter account](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1425355601316663296), who shared the update, leading one fan to label the youngster as ‘overrated’:
