Harry Wilson Attracting Championship Interest

The Welshman could still move before the domestic window
closes.

Oh you thought the Liverpool squad was settled for the season now that
the international transfer
window had closed? Oh my sweet summer child, there is no such
reprieve. In a reversal of last year’s travesty, where the English
window closed on the eve of the season’s opening fixture while the
rest of Europe continued doing business for another two weeks, the
international window has closed early this year, while the domestic
window has had a two-week extension.

Not that the Reds are likely to sign anybody. There might be an
outgoing or two, however, and with Marko Grujic having left for Porto on loan and
Xherdan Shaqiri rejecting transfer interest in
order to pick up another major trophy while putting in triple digit
minutes, only Harry Wilson remains of the trio that were widely
tipped to leave this summer.

Now, according to John Percy at the Telegraph, the
23-year old has attracted significant interest from a number of
Championship clubs, including Derby — where he spent the 2018/19
season on loan — Swansea, Cardiff and Nottingham Forest. Wilson was
on loan at Bournemouth last year, and while he started the season
brightly, scoring half a dozen goals in the first three months, he
fell out of favour as it became clear the Cherries would be
battling relegation every week, and made only seven starts in the
second half of the campaign.

There is no information on whether the clubs in question are in
the market for a temporary or permanent move, but it is clear that
Liverpool would prefer the latter, and with the Welsh international
having racked up 30 goals and 7 assists in two and a half year of
senior football, he should be considered a known quantity at this
point, with a fixed price tag.
