Liverpool winger Harry Wilson has been linked with Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has told ESPN that they are in ‘constant conversations’ with Harry Wilson about a potential loan exit.
The Reds beat Lyon 3-1 in Switzerland on Wednesday night, coming from behind to win after Memphis Depay had put the Ligue 1 side in front.
Roberto Firmino equalised before a Joachim Andersen own goal just moments later put Liverpool in front, and Wilson rattled home a long-range strike in the second half to seal the win.
That goal once again underlined Wilson’s quality, especially in terms of shooting from long range, just as speculation surrounds his future again.
The Welshman is wanted by both Aston Villa and Newcastle United according to Sky Sports, either on loan or in a big-money permanent move.
Wilson, 22, spent last season on loan at Derby County, racking up 16 goals and four assists in the Championship whilst helping the Rams reach the play-off final.
The winger has featured in pre-season with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah unavailable for much of it, putting himself in contention for a squad role at Anfield this coming season.
Now, Klopp has admitted that constant conversations over the winger’s future are ongoing, believing that he must do the right thing for Wilson and for Liverpool, but seemed open to a move in the next week.
“We are in constant conversations, that’s clear,” said Klopp. “We have to do the right thing for us and for the boy. There is nothing to talk about in public about it, so we will see what happens in the next eight or nine days until the window closes,” he added.
