Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has no regrets trading in last season’s promotion hero Djed Spence for £16million Neco Williams from Liverpool.
Spence returns to the City Ground with Tottenham today though he is yet to play for Antonio Conte’s team after signing for them in summer.
His successor at right wing-back, Welsh international Williams, has excelled in Forest’s bright start to the season, with four points from games against Newcastle, West Ham and Everton.
Cooper said he was happy to move quickly to sign Williams while Spence, a Middlesbrough player who was only at Forest on loan, mulled over his future.
