Everton want to sign Harry Wilson from Fulham.
The Wales international has now entered the final six months of his contract, putting several clubs on red alert as he enjoys a spectacular season – netting eight goals and assisting a further five in 25 appearances so far this term.
The BBC have now provided an update on Harry Wilson for Everton fans to digest – with Marco Silva at the centre of the story.
How good of a signing would this be for Everton? 👀
Everton are showing an interest…
Marco Silva is hesitating over a new contract at Fulham and it could see Harry Wilson depart
The BBC now state that the Welshman is reluctant to sign a new contract at Fulham due to the uncertainty surrounding Silva as well.
As it happens, the former Everton boss also sees his terms at Craven Cottage expire in July, and it is said that Wilson has put discussions over a new deal on hold until he receives clarity over the 48-year-old’s situation.
Therefore, the longer Silva continues to hesitate over his own future in west London, the more Everton fans can dream of the Fulham No.8 moving to Merseyside this winter.
In the meantime, another potentially decisive development is progressing, as Fulham are close to signing Oscar Bobb in a £35m move from Manchester City – a player who operates in the same areas as Wilson out on the right of the attack.
The BBC explicitly state that Fulham signing the Norway international may open the door to a late exit for Wilson closer to transfer deadline day on 2nd February.
Everton should put a bid on the table after losing Jack Grealish to injury
David Moyes could potentially move Iliman Ndiaye out to the left flank after Jack Grealish suffered a serious foot injury – which may rule him out for three months.
With Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling also struggling to impress on the right wing this season, a move for Wilson – who thrives when cutting inside on his stronger left foot – now makes even more sense for Everton.
Who would you play at left wing in place of the injured Jack Grealish? 🤔
The winger is reportedly facing THREE months out – do Everton need to sign a replacement?
It feels like a transfer saga which will open up a bit more as we approach deadline day, so Everton will have to be patient, but the Toffees could inject some urgency into the situation by making a bid now.
The BBC add that Aston Villa, Brentford and Crystal Palace are monitoring Wilson too, so Everton would be making a significant statement by submitting an offer now.
