Nottingham Forest manager Nuno has given his verdict on the performance of Neco Williams against Bristol City.

Nuno has said why he was impressed by the display produced by Williams in the FA Cup tie on Friday evening.

So, what has Nuno said about Nottingham Forest full-back Neco Williams? Let’s take a look.

Nuno praises Nottingham Forest full-back Neco Williams

Well, Nottingham Forest played out a goalless draw with Bristol City away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday evening.

Neco Williams did not start the match. The 22-year-old Wales international full-back came on as a substitute at half time.

Forest manager Nuno was impressed by the display produced by the former Liverpool full-back and has noted that he did well as a winger.

Williams had a 100% pass accuracy, took 17 touches, made one tackle, and put in two crosses.

Nuno told NottinghamshireLive about Williams: “Neco Williams wasn’t playing in his original position, but we must try to create solutions. He is a right full-back. He played as a winger, but he did really well.”

My View: Nottingham Forest should not sell Neco Williams

In my opinion, Nottingham Forest simply cannot sell Neco Williams in the final days of the January transfer window.

There is speculation that Leeds United, who are aiming to win promotion from the Championship to the Premier League, are interested in Williams.

Williams is one of the best young full-backs in the Premier League, and I think that Forest, who will take on Arsenal next week, need to have faith in him and persevere with him.

The Wales international full-back has made four starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season. He has given one assist in those games.
