Anfield club look at Williams to replace retiring Carragher
Liverpool are looking at Swansea captain Ashley Williams to replace the retiring Jamie Carragher at the end of the season.
Williams, 28, played under current Reds manager Brendan Rodgers at Swansea last season and his impressive form has continued under Michael Laudrup this season.
35-year-old Carragher is hanging his boots up in the summer after a serving his side so well over the years and Rodgers feels Williams can be the man to step into his shoes.
Liverpool have been suspect in the back during recent weeks and Rodgers wants to redress this problem by recruiting the Welshman.

“You never lose your optimism and I’m always optimistic but it’s going to be a huge task.”
