Peterborough United chairman and co-owner Darragh MacAnthony addressed speculation regarding the club’s interest in Williams, revealing that the club were keen but opted against pursuing a deal and “pulled out” two days ago. He said:

Williams, 23, has been a star performer for Exeter City since signing for the club in January 2019. The former Watford winger – who spent time on loan with Wycombe Wanderers while on the books at Watford – mainly plays as a right midfielder but has also featured further forward as a right-winger and further back as a right-back at times.

With Exeter City, Williams has notched up 57 appearances, scoring five goals and laying on 14 assists in the process.

With Peterborough out of the chase, the path has cleared for Hull City to snap Williams up. Whether or not Grant McCann’s side will look to snap the winger up, it awaits to be seen.
