Celtic are prepared to fight to acquire the services of Liverpool wide man Harry Wilson this summer. According to recent reports, the Reds youngster is on the Hoops’ radar ahead of a potential move during this summer transfer period. However, they are not the only ones looking to recruit the Welsh starlet and will face stiff competition from local rivals Rangers in pursuit of his signature in this post-season.
Some sources have recently claimed that the Gers boss Steven Gerrard is eager to bring Wilson to the Ibrox Stadium on a season-long loan. However, Brendan Rodgers’ Bhoys have joined the race as the Northern Irishman is a big admirer of the Liverpool talent and will not give up on his signature without a fight.
The Hoops are trying to get one over their crosstown rivals even before the start of the new season. Although, it won’t be easy to prise him away from Merseyside with the Welsh wonderkid currently set to undergo a full pre-season under Jurgen Klopp. If he can impress the Reds boss then there is a chance that he might remain at Anfield to fight for a place in Klopp’s first-team.
Otherwise, a loan move might be beneficial for all parties as Wilson needs regular game time if he is to fulfil his massive potential and become a future star in English football.
The Bhoys of Glasgow managed to claim a domestic treble last season but they need to recruit wisely this summer if they are to continue their dominance in Scottish football. Rodgers should everything in his power to land someone like Wilson as he has the ability to be a real game-changer at Celtic Park.
The addition of Wilson will definitely bolster Rodgers’ attacking options ahead of the new season. Celtic have some outstanding talents in their ranks such as Tom Rogic, Scott Sinclair and James Forrest vying for a place in their starting XI. The potential acquisition of Wilson will undoubtedly improve their team significantly and add more competition for places within the Hoops squad.
At the mere of 21, the Welshman has a bright future in English football and if given the opportunity to showcase his skills at Parkhead, he would bring some goals and dynamism from midfield and add another dimension to the Celtic attack. Only time will tell whether the Scottish champions can fend off strong interest and win the race to sign Wilson this summer.
