The deal for Williams will be regarded as a huge statement by Forest, with the defender already capped 21 times by the Wales national team. Personal terms are not expected to be an issue. Williams will also play alongside Wales team-mate Brennan Johnson, who signed a new four-year contract last week.įulham were also in the chase to sign the right-back, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Craven Cottage, but Forest have moved ruthlessly to conclude a deal. It is understood Southampton made a late bid on Wednesday night to sign Williams on an initial loan deal, but the 21-year-old is keen to work under Forest head coach Steve Cooper. The deals will take the number of summer signings to six since Forest's return to the Premier League. Williams, the Wales international, is poised to join from Liverpool in a total deal worth £17 million while Richards will complete an £8.5 million move from Bayern Munich.
