According to The Daily Mail, Swansea are in talks with Liverpool over a loan move for Harry Wilson, while Derby, Cardiff and Nottingham Forest are also interested.

The Premier League champions were unable to secure a loan move for the 17-cap Wales international while the transfer window was open.

However, Wilson can still join a side in the English Football League up until 5pm on October 16th, the deadline for domestic transfers.

The Daily Mail’s report reveals that the winger – who Transfermarkt state stands at 1.73m (5 foot 7 inches) – has been offered to several Championship clubs.

Jurgen Klopp has only handed the former Hull City attacker just one appearance so far this season, coming in the Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal.

That isn’t to say the German doesn’t rate him, however.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach said last season that he was glad Wilson couldn’t face Liverpool, given the terms of his loan agreement with Bournemouth.

Klopp also went on to say that the academy graduate is world-class at shooting.

Liverpool’s official site quote him as saying: ‘I am happy he cannot play against us, to be honest!

‘Each free-kick is a proper threat. But we were never in doubt about Harry’s shooting abilities, his skills in that part of the game are incredible – world-class, for sure.’

It would be a shame for a player of Wilson’s talent to be left on the sidelines up until January at the earliest, so it is crucial that Liverpool can find him another temporary home.
