Everton have been linked with a move for Harry Wilson ahead of the summer window.

The Fulham No.8 has been one of the standout performers this season, scoring ten goals and adding seven assists in 32 games across all competitions. TalkSPORT have reported that David Moyes is a big fan of the Welshman.

Under normal circumstances, Everton might be looking at a £50m price tag. But with his contract set to expire in the summer, there is a chance he could be available on a free transfer.

Now, talkSPORT have provided an update on this situation and believe it is near certain that Harry Wilson does become a free agent at the end of the season.

Everton face tough task to land Harry Wilson as exit from Fulham nears

It now appears very unlikely that the 28-year-old will remain at Craven Cottage beyond this season, though Everton may need European football to have any realistic shot at landing him.

Aston Villa are also in the frame, and talkSPORT reports that Wilson would be open to joining them, especially if they secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Wrexham, where Wilson was born, could also come into play if the Welsh club win promotion from the Championship this term.

Alex Iwobi could be an option for Everton if Harry Wilson ends up elsewhere

Fulham are having a solid season, currently ninth in the table with 40 points, and they have also made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

A big part of their success has been down to Alex Iwobi, who has chipped in with four goals and three assists in 22 Premier League appearances this campaign.

But there are signs that all might not be well. The Nigeria international – who is usually quite active online – seems to have wiped all references to Fulham from his Instagram page, including his bio and photos.

Iwobi is contracted to Fulham until July 2028. However, given how telling social media can be in football, the 29-year-old may seek a Craven Cottage exit if something in west London has suddenly displeased him.
