# James Pearce thinks Liverpool will cash in on Wilson this summer

Harry Wilson is likely to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, according to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.co.uk/1696927/2020/03/24/what-does-the-future-hold-for-liverpools-youngsters-tue-24-mar-3pm-uk/)‘s James Pearce.

The Welshman is currently on loan at Bournemouth, where he has [scored seven goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/333044/Show/Harry-Wilson) in the Premier League in 2019/20.

Wilson is expected to return to Liverpool for pre-season, whenever that happens to be, but his future at Anfield may not look too bright.

Speaking during a [Q&A](https://theathletic.co.uk/1696927/2020/03/24/what-does-the-future-hold-for-liverpools-youngsters-tue-24-mar-3pm-uk/) on Tuesday, Pearce admits he doesn’t think the 23-year-old will be a Reds player for much longer:

> I’d be surprised if Wilson was still a LFC player. He’s 23 now and needs to play regularly.

> I can’t realistically see him forcing his way into Klopp’s side. LFC would expect to get £20m plus for him. If an offer like that isn’t forthcoming then he could stay around as a squad player.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Selling Wilson is a no-brainer, in my opinion, and it would be a move that would benefit both him and Liverpool.

For the Reds to get around £20 million for his services would be great business, considering he has [only made one first-team appearance](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/GamesPerSeason/1314-126) back in 2016/17.

Wilson is a good player, without question, but Jurgen Klopp now needs a higher calibre of player in reserve, if his side are to continue growing.

I don’t think the Wales international would be an upgrade on Xherdan Shaqiri, for example, with the Swiss star an established international footballer.

Bournemouth looks to be his level moving forward – a mid to lower Premier League club, where has can play regularly and be a key man.
