Aston Villa and Everton are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Fulham winger Harry Wilson in a bargain deal in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Harry Wilson is the subject of interest of Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Fulham winger has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit.
Apart from Aston Villa, Everton and Wrexham are also keen on signing the Welshman in the summer transfer window as he closes in on becoming a free agent. However, the Villans are the front-runners to sign the Fulham winger if he does not sign a new contract with the West London club.
How has Harry Wilson fared at Fulham so far?
Harry Wilson has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Fulham from Liverpool in a deal worth £12 million in July 2021. While the 28-year-old was slow off the blocks at the West London club, he has transformed his reputation in the ongoing campaign, having enjoyed the season of his life.
The Welsh international has scored ten goals and provided seven assists in 32 outings across all competitions this term. However, Wilson’s long-term future at the West London club is uncertain, as he has entered the final six months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several clubs, with Everton and Aston Villa among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Everton wanted to sign Harry Wilson in the winter transfer window, but a deal did not materialise. While David Moyes has several top-notch wide attackers in his squad, he can do with more quality in the final third, as it is unclear if Jack Grealish will remain at the Hill Dickinson Stadium after his loan deal expires after the 2025/26 season. So, Wilson has emerged as a viable target for Everton.
As for Aston Villa, the West Midlands outfit wanted to sign a versatile wide attacker in the winter transfer window, but a deal did not materialise. They will continue that search this summer, and Wilson is an appealing target for Aston Villa due to his impending free-agent status. The latest report has suggested that the Villans are the front-runners to secure his services.
Aston Villa will likely be able to offer European football next season, which Everton may not. Interestingly, the Fulham winger is also a target for Wrexham. However, it will be surprising to see the ambitious Championship club sign the 28-year-old Welsh international in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
