Leeds United think that Harry Wilson is far too expensive to sign, but Aston Villa still want him, the Daily Mirror report.

Liverpool apparently want £20 million for the winger, and Leeds have now walked away from the dealings, as Jurgen Klopp’s side are refusing to budge from their asking price.

Villa are still in the running to sign him, and are said to lead the way for the winger.

However, even they have serious concerns about paying the full fee, and want him for around half price.

Villa feel that a bid of around £12 million would be the maximum that they would pay for the Welshman.

If Liverpool did accept that offer, then it remains to be seen whether Leeds would re-enter the bidding for the wide-man.

Wilson could offer Leeds some Premier League experience and he would give Bielsa more depth to his options in the attacking areas.

Leeds have the likes of Helder Costa and Jack Harrison who can play out wide, but beyond that their options are fairly short.

It is thought that the Whites will still push for another attacker this summer.

But, as it stands, Liverpool may well be pricing Wilson out of the move, with his potential suitors now dropping off.
