Fulham line up ambitious £23m double transfer swoop for Liverpool pair Joe Gomez and Neco Williams
FULHAM are lining up a double bid for Liverpool stars Joe Gomez and Neco Williams, according to reports.
Gomez, 24, has already been linked with a move to the soon-to-be-promoted Cottagers.
And claim that the West London club are ‘interested’ in signing the Reds centre-back.
The defender has fallen out of favour at Anfield and is Jurgen Klopp’s fourth choice behind Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, and summer signing Ibrahima Konate.
Gomez is said to be very concerned with his future at Liverpool, as well as at international level with England.
Three Lions boss, Gareth Southgate, is a big fan of Gomez but won’t pick him if he’s not playing.

The 24-year-old is from London and was a product of the youth team at Charlton Athletic.
And a move back to his home city could be exactly what he needs to get back in the national side.
Liverpool have set a £23million price tag on the young defender.
Fulham won’t be short of competition, with Tottenham, West Ham and Newcastle also believed to be watching Gomez.
The Whites are sat 12 points clear at the top of the Championship and are the favourites to win the division.
Another Liverpool youngster, 20-year-old Williams, has helped the push for promotion.
The on loan full-back has two goals and two assists in nine Championship games.
And The Express says that Fulham are ‘keen’ to bring the Welshman back in the Premier League next season.
Both temporary and permanent deals are supposedly being considered.
