Liverpool-owned Derby County winger Harry Wilson has impressed Stoke City striker Peter Crouch.

Stoke City striker Peter Crouch has revealed in The Daily Mail what his teammate Joe Allen has been telling him about Liverpool-owned Derby County winger Harry Wilson.

Wilson joined Championship side Derby on loan from Premier League side Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old winger has been superb for the Rams so far this season, scoring one goal in three Championship starts for Frank Lampard’s side, according to WhoScored.

The Wales international winger also played a key role in Derby’s win against Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.

Stoke striker Crouch has spoken highly of Wilson, and has also revealed that he has received good reports from his teammate Allen, who plays with the Derby youngster for the Wales national football team.

Crouch wrote about Wilson in The Daily Mail: “I’ve been getting good reports about the on-loan Derby midfielder off Joe Allen, from their time in the Wales squad. His free-kick against Manchester United was superb and he looks a player of huge promise.”
