Nottingham Forest hone in on Bayern Munich's Omar Richards in £9m deal

Nottingham Forest are finalising the £9million transfer of Bayern Munich left-back Omar Richards and have agreed a £17m fee with Liverpool for right-back Neco Williams.

The former Reading full-back joined the German giants on a free transfer 12 months ago and is on the verge of a return to England, having notched 17 appearances in all competitions last campaign.

Last season, Forest prospered from the loan signing of Middlesbrough's Djed Spence, who is expected to complete a £15m move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Welsh right-back Williams looks primed to fill the Spence's boots next season, with Liverpool having already accepted Forest's £17m offer.

A move to Nottingham will present Williams with a fresh chance for regular first-team football, following his short-term loan spell with Fulham last season, as he looks to build fitness ahead of Wales' first World Cup in 64 years.
