Could a sensational reunion be on the cards? Liverpool is reportedly considering bringing back former academy star Harry Wilson, who's currently enjoying a stellar season, and the potential move has got everyone talking.
Wilson, a product of Liverpool's youth system, spent a significant 17 years at the club. However, he only managed to make a mere two first-team appearances. After successful loan spells in the Championship, he made a permanent move to Fulham in 2021 for £12 million.
Now in his fifth season at Craven Cottage, the 28-year-old is playing some of the best football of his career, boasting seven goals and four assists. With Fulham currently sitting in the 10th position in the Premier League, just five points behind Liverpool, the question arises: could Wilson be the answer to Liverpool's current struggles on the right flank?
But here's where it gets controversial... With Wilson's contract expiring, he's set to become a free agent. Former Liverpool star Stephane Henchoz and Sam Allardyce have both weighed in, suggesting that a return to Anfield could be a shrewd move for the Reds.
Henchoz highlighted the financial benefits, stating that when a player is available on a free transfer, it significantly alters the decision-making process. He also touched on the club's strategy, questioning whether the focus is solely on immediate performance or if the player also has resale value, a common practice for clubs.
Allardyce echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Wilson's game could reach new heights surrounded by the talent at Liverpool. He believes that Wilson's experience with Liverpool, even though he was eventually moved on, could make his return even more compelling.
And this is the part most people miss... Allardyce also pointed out that Wilson's quality of play could translate even better in a team with better players, provided he can handle the pressure of a bigger club. Wilson already proved his capabilities by scoring against his former club in a recent match.
