The Liverpool attacker looks to be leaving Anfield on loan again.

#59 Harry Wilson of Liverpool FC looks on during the Pre-Season Friendly match between Liverpool FC and Olympique Lyonnais at Stade de Geneve on July 31, 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The BBC report that Liverpool prospect Harry Wilson will join Bournemouth on loan within the next 24 hours after he completed a medical.

The 22-year-old has featured heavily in the Reds’ pre-season matches, scoring a stunning goal against Lyon last week.

However, Jurgen Klopp has clearly determined he won’t be getting much action in his team over the coming season.

The move offers the Anfield player the chance to impress in the Premier League, as he has done previously in the Championship.

Last year he was a crucial part of a Derby County side that came close to promotion, scoring 18 goals and assisting six in all competitions.

Obviously the step up to a team chasing title glory is massive, but it was the kind of contribution that demonstrated he holds excellent potential and could even play a part at the Reds this term.

Bournemouth may be a great platform for the player though. If he can produce consistently in the top-flight then Klopp and his coaching staff will simply have to sit up and take notice.

It could be the type of bridging move that really aids his development and announces his arrival as an elite player.

Eddie Howe also knows a fair bit about improving and working with younger players.

Some Liverpool fans though don’t seem keen on the loan switch, feeling that his departure not only weakens depth in key attacking positions but also that Wilson has already done enough to earn a chance in Klopp’s squad.
