Middlesbrough have a rebuilding job to do ahead of their Championship season, and they should target Harry Wilson as part of it.

Middlesbrough were confirmed to be joining Sunderland in the EFL Championship next season, following their 3-0 defeat to title-chasing Chelsea on Monday.
Boro have been strong defensively this season, as they boast the best defensive record in the bottom half of the table, conceding only 48 goals this season.
Their problems however, have come at the other end of the pitch, where they have scored only 26 goals in their 36 Premier League games.

Their lack of a goal threat will be an issue that will need to be addressed ahead of their Championship campaign and they should target Liverpool’s Harry Wilson to help remedy it.
The 20-year-old has scored 12 goals and assisted seven in his 17 Premier League 2 games this season, with his latest coming in a final-day 2-1 victory over local rivals Everton.
The Daily Star reports that Wilson is a loan target for Championship clubs Barnsley and Burton in the summer, as he has struggled to get a look into the first team at Liverpool.
The Welsh international would be a great addition to the Middlesbrough front-line, where he would add a brilliant passing range and vision to their struggling attack.
Wilson also likes to take on defenders and push forward to create space to either shoot or play his teammates in on goal, adding much needed creativity and drive to Steve Agnew’s side.
The Liverpool youngster will have a point to prove where ever he is this summer, and helping Middlesbrough to challenge for a return to the Premier League could be an ideal way to prove it.
