Everton to move for Fulham player of the season

12 April 2026 - 06:00

Everton are once again being linked with a move for Harry Wilson as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the summer window. The Fulham winger has been one of the more consistent performers outside the traditional top clubs this season, and his availability has alerted several Premier League sides.

Wilson’s situation makes him particularly attractive. With his contract entering its final phase, there is a growing sense that this summer could represent a key opportunity for clubs to secure his signature without a major transfer fee. Everton have already shown interest, having made an approach earlier in the year that was turned down, but the expectation is that they will return with renewed intent.

For Everton, the need is clear. Injuries and inconsistency in wide areas have disrupted their attacking rhythm, and adding a player with proven Premier League output is a priority. Wilson offers creativity, work rate and a genuine goal threat from wide positions. His ability to cut inside and strike from distance has long been a defining feature of his game, something that could add a different dimension to Everton’s attack.

There is also a narrative element to the potential move. Wilson came through the academy at Liverpool, making this a transfer that would carry extra significance on Merseyside. While that history is unlikely to be a deciding factor, it adds an interesting layer to the story and would undoubtedly draw attention if the move were completed.

Competition remains a factor. Other clubs are monitoring his situation, and his strong performances have not gone unnoticed. Everton will need to move quickly and present a convincing project if they want to bring him to Goodison Park.

From a tactical perspective, Wilson would fit naturally into a system that values direct attacking play and quick transitions. His experience and end product make him a low risk addition compared to more speculative targets.

If Everton can get this deal over the line, it would represent a smart piece of business and a clear step towards improving their attacking consistency going into next season.
