Liverpool midfielder Jordan Williams is set to leave the club permanently prior to tonight's transfer deadline.

Charlton Athletic are leading the chase for the 21-year-old with fellow League One outfit MK Dons having also made an approach to sign the Welshman.

Williams is out of contract this summer and his seven-year stay with the Reds is coming to an end.

The Bangor-born youngster, who was signed from Wrexham, made one first-team appearance for Liverpool against Middlesbrough in the League Cup in September 2014 and scored in the penalty shoot-out triumph.

He was also an unused substitute on seven occasions – the most recent being the FA Cup replay at Plymouth earlier this month.

Williams' hopes of making the grade at Anfield were severely hampered by injuries.

After finishing the 2014/15 season on loan at Notts County, he joined Swindon Town on a temporary deal at the start of last season.

His performances earned him a maiden call-up to Chris Coleman’s senior Wales squad. But in September 2015 he suffered a serious knee injury which ruled him for the rest of the campaign.

Williams made a comeback for Liverpool Under-23s earlier this season and has shone both at centre-back and in a holding midfield role.
