Everton join Leeds United in Harry Wilson chase
Everton are set to go head-to-head with Leeds United in the race to sign Fulham attacking mainstay Harry Wilson.
Harry Wilson’s future has become a massive talking point as his contract at Fulham is running out. With him potentially available for free in five months, multiple top clubs in the country are keen on signing the Welsh international.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Everton have joined Leeds United in the race to sign Wilson. Despite being one of the mainstays at the London club, the 28-year-old seems to have his heart set on a move away from Craven Cottage.
Wilson came up the ranks at Liverpool, and he got promoted to their first team back in 2018. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for him at the Merseyside club, and after multiple loan spells away, the Welsh winger ended up parting ways in 2021 to join Fulham.
Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but his consistent performances for the Cottagers have resulted in interest from clubs like Everton and Leeds United. Wilson has 13 goal contributions this season. Given the kind of impact he has made, it is quite understandable why top clubs want him.
Premier League duo to battle for Wilson
Fulham have no intentions of selling the 28-year-old mid-season. But with his contract running out at the end of the season and a renewal nowhere in sight, a move away looks very likely. The player is determined to move back to the north of England and Everton, and Leeds are looking to make the most out of it.
While he was a part of the Liverpool setup back in the day and he even made a first-team appearance, Wilson could still be interested in joining their rivals. The Yorkshire-based seek more quality in the centre of the park, and Wilson can certainly help their cause, given the amount of experience he has.
Everton might have entered the race for his signature, but they will face stiff competition from Leeds United. While they failed to sign him during the last summer window, Leeds retain interest in the 28-year-old and have been closely monitoring his situation in recent weeks.
Signing a winger of his quality and experience could be a major coup for both clubs. As a result, it will be interesting to see who actually ends up winning the race for his signature.
