Derby County have taken Harry Wilson on loan from Liverpool this season.

Frank Lampard reporttd for BT Sport during The Emirates FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium on May 19, 2018 in London, England.

Derby County boss Frank Lampard has admitted to the Derby Telegraph that he would like to sign Liverpool’s Harry Wilson in the summer.

Wilson signed on loan at Pride Park in the summer, and the Liverpool man has enjoyed a wonderful first season with the Rams.

Wilson currently leads Derby’s scoring charts, with 14 goals in all competitions across the course of the season.

The Liverpool winger is part of an impressive group of loanees currently at Derby, with Mason Mount and Fiyoko Tomori also impressing after joining from Chelsea.

And Lampard has admitted that he would like to sign the trio again next term.

“I have loved working with them all, so if I could have my own way, I’d keep them,” Lampard said.

“It’s something that they will want to sit down with their families, their agents, etc, and think what is best for them.

“They’ve got different options. The last thing any of them will want to do now is go and not play football, so I think that will be the main thing in their mind.”

If Derby want Wilson on a permanent deal then they are likely to need to be promoted to have any chance of buying him from Liverpool.

Wilson faces a tough task breaking into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team, but he would still command a price of around £20 million, according to goal.com.

Derby are currently in eighth place in the Championship table, two points off the play off spots.
