# Rodgers refuses to rule out move for Wilson

Brendan Rodgers has refused to rule out the possibility of Leicester City signing Harry Wilson from Liverpool.

The Welshman has impressed on loan at Bournemouth this season, scoring [six goals in the Premier League](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/333044/Show/Harry-Wilson).

Wilson wasn’t deemed good enough to keep at Liverpool last summer, however, with Jurgen Klopp taking the decision to move him on.

The 22-year-old will return to Anfield at the end of the season, but there are doubts over his long-term future there, even though Klopp has [suggested otherwise](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7765453/Jurgen-Klopp-insists-Harry-Wilson-future-Liverpool-world-class-shooting.html).

In quotes provided by the [https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/brendan-rodgers-addresses-leicester-transfer-21238801](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/brendan-rodgers-addresses-leicester-transfer-21238801)*[Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/brendan-rodgers-addresses-leicester-transfer-21238801)*, Rodgers spoke of his admiration for Wilson, not ruling out the idea of bringing him to Leicester in the summer:

> I know Harry \[Wilson\] very well. He’s a fantastic talent. I don’t speculate or gossip on other players, especially other players from other teams.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Harsh though it may be, Wilson isn’t good enough for Liverpool.

A talented forward with an eye for goal, he doesn’t possess enough end product to be a handy squad player under Klopp, with no assists to his name in 2019/20.

Wilson eye for the spectacular is undeniable, but when the long-range efforts dry up, there isn’t enough substance to his game.

He belongs at a lower-ranked Premier League club, which is still an extremely high level to play at.

Leicester would be a good place to move, should the Foxes end up making a bid, allowing him to work with a talented coach in Rodgers, who he knew during the Ulsterman’s time at Anfield.
