Former Liverpool winger Harry Wilson has been nominated for the Championship Player of the Season award.
The 25-year-old, who joined The Reds aged seven, has been excellent for The Cottagers as they look certain to bounce back to the Premier League.
Wilson has hit double figures in both goals and assists in the Championship this season. His 14 assists is a league high, while he’s also managed to weigh in with 10 goals of his own.
As per fulhamfc.com, Wilson will battle it out with Aleksander Mitrovic and fellow Liverpool old-boy Dominic Solanke for the award.
Mitrovic is likely to be a shoo-in for the award having plundered an unprecedented 38 goals in the league this season. Wilson’s standing as a scorer and a creator will stand him in good stead to run the Serbian close, though.
Good luck Harry!
Liverpool feeling short-changed
After playing just once during his Liverpool career, the Welshman was finally moved on by Jurgen Klopp last summer. The £12m that it cost Fulham to bring him to West London felt like a good deal for Liverpool at the time.
But given his output since then, it’s possible that The Reds were a little short-changed on Wilson. It’ll be interesting to see whether he can make the step up to the top division next season.
Liverpool may feel some disappointment at potentially losing out on a chunk of money for Wilson. But this should be tempered by the deal they look to have struck for Fabio Carvalho.
According to The Athletic, The Reds have already agreed a deal to bring Carvalho to Anfield next season. The fee looks like being around £7.7m including add-ons.
That looks an incredible deal on the face of it. Even more so when you consider that he has also made the shortlists announced today. The 19-year-old is one of three players nominated for the Young Player of the Season.
