Liverpool are set to hold discussions with Swansea City regarding Rhys Williams’ future at the club.
Williams has endured a difficult time since agreeing a season-long stay at the Liberty Stadium on deadline day in August having penned a new contract with the Reds.
After making 19 appearances for Jurgen Klopp‘s side last season, the hope was that Williams would gain more first-team experience at the Championship club.
However, the 20-year-old has had just six outings for the Swans in all competitions so far this season, and was back on the bench at the weekend for their defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool hold the option to cut the youngster's loan short when the transfer window opens in January, and Swansea's sporting director Mark Allen has revealed he’s set for talks with the Reds about the situation.
"With every loan, there will always be a recall clause in January, very seldom will you have a loan that doesn't include that, for both parties," Allen told Wales Online.
"Is it working out for the individual? Is it working out for the team? Is it working out for the club that's loaning him?
“Do they think there's a better loan available for them? All of those will be factors now, and we'll be speaking to Liverpool in the coming weeks with regards to Rhys."

Speaking on Williams’ lack of game time last month, Swansea head coach Russell Martin said: “Rhys came straight in for us and started, then got an injury and then had a really difficult afternoon at Luton followed by a difficult week after suffering racist abuse, which is a disgrace.
“Since then he’s found it really tough to get in. The guys have been in such good form. That’s football, that’s life. But Rhys understands where we’re at.
“He’s a brilliant boy and I think, whatever happens, he’ll go back to Liverpool a better player for his experience. He’s developed more resilience. And he’s really happy here, by the way."
