Key Nottingham Forest player has shot up in value since bargain transfer

Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams has emerged as the club's most valuable asset, according to updated estimates from the CIES Football Observatory. Valued between €50m (£41m) and €58m (£48m), the 25-year-old Welshman has significantly increased in worth since arriving on a permanent transfer from Liverpool for £17m in 2022.

Williams has surpassed Morgan Gibbs-White as Forest's top-valued player under CIES metrics, partly due to signing a contract extension through 2030. The valuation follows Forest's recent 3-1 victory against Manchester City under head coach Oliver Glasner, where Liam Delap and Jair Cunha scored.
