Sunderland Are Eyeing A Move For This Fulham Playmaker: Should Le Bris Get Him On Board? | OneFootball

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast, Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness stated that Sunderland are eyeing a move for Fulham playmaker Harry Wilson. Wyness said,

“He’s a very talented kid, but he’s getting on, he’s 28 now. So this is an important move for him as to where this goes.

“But I don’t see him moving. I’d thought he may have done something in January, but Fulham want to hang on to him just now. With Oscar Bobb coming in, that’s going to be competition as well up front. So let’s just see how this pans out for the second part of the season.

“But he’s another player that if he is going to be agitating for a move, expect him to hit some form as well. He’s scored some very good goals before, and he has got talent, and he will fit certain teams’ playing styles.

“Now, the one that came out of the blue for me when I talked to some of my contacts was Sunderland that were thinking about a possibility for Harry Wilson. I think he would fit their style of play very well and that’s one I’m not discounting to show some interest in the summer as well.”

Wilson’s Impressive Numbers In English Football

Wilson is having a productive campaign at the London club as he has produced a string of eye-catching performances for them in the Premier League. The Welsh talent has registered nine goals and secured five assists in 28 appearances for the Cottagers this season across all fronts.

Should Sunderland Boss Regis Le Bris Get Wilson On Board?

Wilson is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to create some inviting chances in the final third. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top.

The Welsh talent is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also operate as a left-winger or as an attacking midfielder if told to do so. Wilson has already begun to prove himself in the Premier League and won’t take much to adjust to life at the Wearside club.

Wilson would undoubtedly bring more firepower to Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris’ frontline. He is good enough to challenge for regular first-team football at the Stadium of Light.

At 28, Wilson is about to enter his prime, which makes him a great choice for the Black Cats to pursue at the end of this campaign. Thus, Le Bris would be wise to get him on board soon.
