Liverpool have been encouraged to bring Harry Wilson back to the club on a free transfer, four years after he was sold to Fulham by Jurgen Klopp .

Wilson was part of Liverpool 's setup between 2005 and 2022, but managed only two first-team outings for the Reds and spent multiple spells away on loan. His final temporary move from Liverpool came in the 2021-22 campaign with Fulham, and the Cottagers were sufficiently impressed by the Wales international to make the deal permanent.

The 29-year-old enjoyed an outstanding 2025-26 campaign, contributing 10 goals and seven assists across 37 Premier League matches, and is poised to become one of the most sought-after free agents available at the end of the month. Liverpool are searching for a right-sided forward to fill the void left by Mohamed Salah this summer, and while Wilson's characteristics differ somewhat from Salah's, ex-Red Gary McAllister believes Wilson would prove a valuable addition to the squad.

"He's a really interesting one," McAllister said. "He's been coached in the Liverpool way, and he always caught the eye when you were around Anfield .

"When I was doing bits and bobs for the club, you'd hear about the young players coming through, and he was one of the standouts.

"I watched Harry from a very young age, and the performances you've seen at Fulham are very similar to what I saw when he was playing for the youth team at Liverpool. With his passing range, his ability to get a goal, and his work rate, he's becoming a very complete player.

"So, it's no surprise there's interest, as he's up at the end of the season, and I'm sure there will be a lot of takers. Liverpool should be one of them.

"Without a shadow of a doubt, Harry is a top-end Premier League player now. He has been on the international stage for his country as well, and he's been fantastic there. I'm really pleased for him because he's a very hard worker."

At present, there is nothing to suggest Liverpool are contemplating a return for Wilson to Anfield, with the winger instead being strongly touted for a switch to Tottenham or Aston Villa . The former are looking to reshape their squad following a dreadful campaign that saw the North London club come perilously close to dropping into the Championship.

Spurs have since submitted a bid for Brighton's Jan Paul Van Hecke , who has also been linked with Liverpool, having already agreed deals for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.
