The 22-year-old impressed for Liverpool against the Ligue 1 outfit in Switzerland.
Liverpool fans were left stunned by Harry Wilson’s beautiful second half rocket of a goal on Wednesday night, as Jurgen Klopp’s side ran out 3-1 winners against Lyon in a pre-season friendly.
Conceding early in the game after a Memphis Depay penalty, the Reds rallied and eventually impressed with their performance.
Klopp also managed to rotate the team massively throughout the 90 minutes, with many substitutions giving established stars and young players alike the opportunity to build fitness ahead of the new season.
Wilson’s goal was the undoubted highlight of the match and it will have done his chances of making it at Anfield no harm at all.
It’s his second goal of the summer’s pre-season action after netting against Borussia Dortmund earlier this month.
Having spent last season on loan at Derby County, this summer is a massive one for the player, with Klopp potentially deciding whether he should be given a real chance in the first-team squad or moved on.
The winger had a great 2018/19 season at Pride Park, scoring 18 goals in all competitions working under Frank Lampard.
To date he has made just one competitive appearance for the Anfield side.
Bournemouth are the latest side to be linked with a big money move for the player, with The Sun reporting that the Cherries are lining up a £25m deal.
Some Liverpool fans are eager for him to stay and get his chance though, believing he could be a useful squad option to complement last season’s UEFA Champions League winners.
These supporters took to Twitter on Wednesday night to share their thoughts after his wonder goal…
