This comes after Liverpool-focused Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in a report by David Lynch for the Evening Standard.
The report claims that Jurgen Klopp will opt against signing a right-back when the transfer window opens due to his faith in Neco Williams.
It also added that Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott could also have big roles to play in the near future.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this latest development.

They are the future and they are so good already. You can sense it. Klopp is right to give them all a place

Hopefully Trent & Neco can lock down that RB slot for the next 10 years

Is Neco Williams ready to be TAA's back-up?
Yes
No, they need to sign a new RB
Williams has made five appearances for the Liverpool senior team so far this season, four in the FA Cup and one in the Carabao Cup. These five appearances saw the 19-year-old right-back provide three assists along the way (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that it is unlikely Klopp will be signing a new right-back this summer due to his belief in Williams, this news excited a lot of Liverpool fans who were not shy in airing their delight on Twitter.
This is mad !!!!!
This is almost how a club is supposed to be run properly ?

Totally agree, Neco looks promising and Trent’s our main RB now. Jones and Elliott look decent players with potential too.

What do we think?
It’s great to hear that Klopp has the confidence and faith in Williams to play more regularly in the Reds’ senior squad next season. The response to this news just goes to show how excited these Liverpool fans are at the thought of Williams playing for the first team in the near future.
