Fulham have made an improved contract offer to keep hold of Harry Wilson amid heavy interest from Premier League rivals.
According to Sports Boom, Fulham are making further efforts to tie down Harry Wilson to a new deal. The Cottagers have made an improved offer to the Welsh winger in another attempt to keep him beyond the season, as the likes of Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa circle.
Harry Wilson is having the season of his life at Fulham, as he has been their best player bar none this term. Ten goals and seven assists across all competitions have kept the Cottagers in the hunt for a European place, as the Welsh winger has played a big role in this.
However, his contractual situation has many at Craven Cottage worried, as the winger is yet to sign a new deal with the club. With his current contract expiring at the end of the season, there is a real danger of losing him on a free transfer to one of their Premier League rivals.
Leeds United are interested in Wilson, but they face a challenging task to sign him amid competition in the market. Everton are also keen, as they view this as a big opportunity to bring in a player at the peak of his form, as the Toffees could potentially lose Iliman Ndiaye amid strong interest from top clubs.
Aston Villa are seen as the front runners for Wilson, with earlier reports stating they have held talks with his camp over a move to Villa Park. On paper, he could be a great signing for Unai Emery’s side in the context of what they want from a player of his ilk. However, Fulham are yet to give up in their efforts to keep hold of the player.
Fulham to Retain Harry Wilson?
Fulham are making attempts to ensure the forward, who cost them £12 million, stays beyond the summer. The Cottagers have made an improved contract offer to test the waters with the winger’s camp and find out if they stand a chance, as talks are ongoing with the Welshman.
Earlier reports had stated that Wilson’s decision to stall on a new contract may be related to the future of manager Marco Silva. The Cottagers are reportedly considering a new deal for the Portuguese manager, and should that happen in the coming weeks, there is a strong chance that Wilson might consider following suit and committing his long-term future to Craven Cottage.
