Neco Williams has responded to claims made by Wales boss Rob Page that he should consider leaving Liverpool in January.
The 20-year-old has found game time at Anfield rather restricted this term, with only three appearances and one start to his name.
In contrast, Williams has shone for Wales during the recent international break, earning high praise from his manager Page.
Williams scored in Wales’ 5-1 win over Belarus, and put in another impressive display in a 1-1 draw with Belgium.

After the draw with Belgium, Page said his players that aren’t getting much game time for their clubs should consider a move elsewhere during January .
Following those comments, Williams has responded by acknowledging that he needs to continue improving if he wants to play more regularly for Liverpool.
Williams signed a five-year contract in 2020, and has said training with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will make him a better player.
"For me when I signed my contract, the main thing was I needed to improve as a player,” Williams told Liverpoolfc.com .
"And when I'm coming up against Mo Salah and Sadio Mane every day in training, it's going to make me a better player.
"I feel like I've matured in my game, especially when you've got Salah and Mane running at you every day. It is hard, but it's going to make me a better player and I feel like it definitely has helped me.
"I'm learning off them and it gives me a little battle with them, so I'm enjoying it."
Williams continued: “Obviously Salah and Mane are starting most games and to play against them near enough every day, it does feel great because it's going to help me as a player.
“Normally a day before a game we'll do like an 11v11 with the starting team and the team who's on the bench or the rest of the players. So I am learning, and I am definitely enjoying it.”
