Neco Williams is in line to earn a new-and-improved Liverpool contract, according to Football Insider.
The 18-year-old has impressed for the Reds this season, shining in the home FA Cup wins over Everton and Shrewsbury Town.
Williams’ performances are set to be rewarded, with Liverpool keen on tying him down to a new deal.
Both a contract extension and a significant pay rise are expected, ahead of his 19th birthday in April.

I think Williams has shown enough in his four first-team appearances for Liverpool to suggest he has a long-term future at Anfield, impressing both defensively and going forward.
A tenacious, energetic presence, there are comparisons to be made with Trent Alexander-Arnold in those respects, although it is important that he isn’t built up too much, in my opinion.
Williams already has two assists to his name for Liverpool and I believe he can be Alexander-Arnold’s right-back deputy moving forward, potentially saving the Reds money in the process.
Should he continue to grow as a player, it could save Jurgen Klopp having to splash out on a new right-back.
Williams still has lots of maturing to do, but early evidence proves a new deal makes sense.
