Potential Rangers boss Steven Gerrard knows Liverpool talent Harry Wilson well, and he isn’t the only one.
Steven Gerrard is weighing up taking the Rangers job and replacing Graeme Murty at the end of the season.
BBC Sport report Rangers are confident Gerrard will agree a deal.
After two heavy defeats to rivals Celtic in the last fortnight, the priority for Rangers is going to have to be shaking up the first team squad and making new signings.
Gerrard’s top priority should be a loan deal for Liverpool sensation Harry Wilson.
Wilson, 19, is already a full Wales international and has been tearing up the Championship with Hull City.
The winger has scored seven goals in 12 games and also provided three assists.
This is an impressive return made even better by the fact it is Wilson’s first spell out on loan playing competitive football.
At Hull he has been playing alongside veteran goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who is on the verge of signing with Rangers.
The former Ger is closing in on a return to the club he left in 2012, the Scottish Sun report.
Earlier this season Wilson struck 10 goals in 12 games for Liverpool’s under-23 team.
With both Gerrard and McGregor recently witnessing Wilson’s talents first hand, it makes sense that Rangers push to make make Wilson their number one target.
A deal for Wilson would even leave rivals Celtic jealous.
With Patrick Roberts set to depart at the end of his loan and Charly Musonda yet failing to shine, Celtic could do with a new exciting winger coming in.
It would make sense for them to try again this summer, but if Gerrard takes the Rangers job then Celtic will likely see their chances of landing the Welshman diminish sharply.
