Harry Wilson is yet to make a Premier League appearance for Liverpool but he has shone in the Championship with Derby County.

Harry Wilson of Derby County looks on at Pride Park Stadium on December 17, 2018 in Derby, England.

Liverpool have little interest in selling Harry Wilson this summer and would prefer the Wales international to spend the 2019/20 on loan at a rival Premier League club, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The 22-year-old winger has long been seen as one of the most promising talents to emerge out of Melwood in many years and his potential has been clear for all to see during a terrific loan spell at Derby County.

Wilson has scored 12 goals for the Rams, including that memorable free-kick in an EFL Cup triumph over Manchester United, and has been nominated for the Football League’s Young Player of the Year award.

The Sun (3 March, page 61) reported that Leeds United were hoping to sign Wilson on loan if they are promoted to the Premier League this season and, should Marcelo Bielsa guide the Whites back into the top two, they could be in luck.

Because Liverpool allegedly want Wilson to be given a chance to prove himself in the top flight and are planning to farm him out to a top flight club next season.

His current employers, Derby, will have to force their way back into the play-offs and then succeed at Wembley if they want to keep Wilson at Pride Park.

Wilson, who made his Wales debut at just 16, is reported to be valued at £20 million but don’t expect him to be sold.
