Since making his debut in October 2019, the right-back has featured in just 25 games for the Reds in all competitions.

In the 2020-21 campaign he was restricted to just six top-flight outings after playing second fiddle to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

And according to , Williams will look to depart Merseyside later this summer.

Liverpool would reluctantly part ways with their academy graduate, though they will only sell him for a fee of at least £10million.

It has been stated that Premier League quartet Leeds, Aston Villa, Burnley and Southampton have all expressed their admiration for the youngster within the past year.

A move to Villa Park seems unlikely due to Ashley Young's arrival at the club, but it remains to be seen if the three other clubs will turn their interest into a formal offer.

The news outlet also claims that Liverpool will not look to bring in a replacement for Williams should he leave, as Joe Gomez can provide cover for Alexander-Arnold.

And Jurgen Klopp is said to be impressed by the development of academy star Conor Bradley, who joined the club in 2019 from Northern Ireland's Dungannon United.
