'If you have a bad game, he's the first to come to you' - Williams praises Klopp influence on Liverpool career

Neco Williams has hailed Jurgen Klopp's hands-on approach to Liverpool's young guns as crucial to his development, adding that he has matured as a player thanks to his manager.

The right-back, who broke through from the Reds' academy in 2019-20, has gone on to become a fully-fledged first-team member since his emergence, with a Premier League winners' medal and a clutch of Wales caps to his name.

Though Liverpool have struggled to recapture the heady highs of last season, the 19-year-old has continued to flourish as one of the more promising talents on Merseyside and has now paid tribute to his manager's methods in helping to shape him.
