Virals: Harry Wilson wanted by ‘at least six clubs’ this summer

Liverpool winger Harry Wilson could be one of many Anfield departures this summer.

Having been unable to sanction permanent departures last year as the pandemic took hold of football finances, Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp will be hoping the budget receives numerous boosts this time around.

The Welshman, currently enjoying the crest of a wave with Wales at Euro 2020, is one of the names linked with a move away from Merseyside after a season-long loan spell at Cardiff City last term.

According to a report from Goal‘s Neil Jones, as cited by Anfield Effect on Twitter, the 24-year-old mightn’t be short on options.

Recent reports have claimed a fee of around £15million would be required to sign the Welshman – following the rejection of a £12million bid from Burnley last summer.

During a loan move in 2019/20, Wilson was described as ‘hugely impressive’ by then AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe.

Whilst at Cardiff, the Wrexham-born forward scored seven times and registered 12 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.

Allowing the 28-cap Wales star to leave this summer on a permanent basis this summer seems a no-brainer and the aforementioned levels of interest should help drive up the achievable price.

Albeit a supremely talented individual, it seems unlikely Wilson will ever become a mainstay in Klopp’s plans.

Valued at £15.3million and under contract at Anfield until 2023 (Transfermarkt), Michael Edwards will be confident of landing a healthy fee.
