Everton are reportedly in pole position to land Fulham winger Harry Wilson, with the attacker edging closer to free agency this summer.
The 27-year-old’s future at Fulham remains unresolved, and uncertainty surrounding manager Marco Silva’s long-term plans has only added fuel to speculation.
Wilson is believed to have wanted clarity over the managerial situation before committing his own future, clarity that has yet to arrive.
Now entering the final stretch of his contract, Wilson could walk away from Craven Cottage for nothing, despite enjoying his most productive campaign since his £12 million move from Liverpool in 2021.
With 16 goal contributions this season, the Welsh international has been one of Fulham’s standout performers.
Fulham have reportedly tabled an improved offer, but there has been no confirmation that Wilson is ready to sign. As things stand, he is keeping his options open.
Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, are also admirers. Leeds boast a strong Welsh core and see Wilson as a natural fit for their attacking structure. However, competition is fierce, and Everton appear better placed.
The Toffees failed with a January enquiry, as Fulham were unwilling to lose a key attacker mid-season. But the landscape has changed.
With Wilson potentially available on a free, Everton are preparing a serious summer approach.
European qualification could prove decisive. Everton’s recent upturn in form has strengthened their continental push, making Goodison Park, or their new stadium project, an increasingly attractive destination.
Adding Wilson would inject creativity and directness into a frontline that already features players such as Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye, and Dwight McNeil. His set-piece quality and eye for goal would offer another dimension.
For now, Fulham remain hopeful of tying him down. But unless there is a late breakthrough, Harry Wilson looks increasingly destined for a summer exit, and Everton are leading the chase.
