Transfer Market: Fulham Offers New Deal to Harry Wilson and Seven Other Players
Harry Wilson netted 11 goals and provided eight assists in 41 appearances for Fulham last season, with his contract set to expire on June 30th. The London club announced on Monday that they have offered a new deal to the forward, whose future nonetheless remains uncertain.
Back in January, Marco Silva had already indicated the club's intention to re-sign the Welsh international. “Our club is trying to maintain contact with them [Harry Wilson's representatives] to resolve this,” said the then-Fulham manager, who is now reportedly heading to Benfica. “Now is the time for those around him to look after his future and, of course, for us, as a club, to try and keep him with us for the coming years.”
Harry Wilson was named Fulham's Player of the Season last term, and according to reports in the English press, his situation is being monitored by Liverpool (where he came through the academy), Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Leeds. These clubs would undoubtedly welcome the opportunity to sign a player with Premier League experience, coming off a highly productive season, on a free transfer.
Towards the end of the season, the player remained tight-lipped about his future. “I feel like, as the season has gone well personally, I just want to focus on that. And I think, with any other distractions, I don't want my performance to drop. I don't want the focus to be on my contract. I want it to be on the team and getting results,” he stated in April.
In addition to Harry Wilson, Fulham also revealed that they have offered new contracts to Samuel Amissah, Jonathan Esenga, Michael Allen, Chibby Nwoko, Tom Olyott, Jayden Quashie, and Olly Sanderson.
