Report: Swansea leading chase for Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson

﷽Championship side Swansea City are reportedly in pole position to land Harry Wilson on loan from Liverpool ().

🌜The domestic transfer window slams shut on Friday, and the Welsh club are hoping to get a deal over the line for the 23-year-old Reds star.

🗹Liverpool had hoped to offload Wilson permanently this summer, but suitable offers were ultimately not forthcoming.

♕Burnley reportedly saw a bid of £12 million plus add-ons rejected but did not return with another offer, seemingly put off by Liverpool’s £20 million valuation ().

💦It is thought that several Championship teams are keen to take Wilson, but Swansea lead the way having signed Rhian Brewster for the second half of 2019/20.

🌞A move to the Liberty Stadium would make sense; manager Steve Cooper was once a Liverpool academy coach, and Wales international Wilson was born in Wrexham.

𒉰He should therefore be allowed to go to Swansea as it could be a great way of maintaining or even increasing his value.

Brewster’s move there was successful, and Liverpool were able to cash in on him for a reported £23.5 million ().

꧟Perhaps similar success could be in store for Wilson, who has impressed in the Championship before with Derby County of course.
