Exclusive: Rory Wilson lined up for Eredivisie deal with Aston Villa loan on the cards
Aston Villa starlet Rory Wilson is attracting interest from the Netherlands, Villa News can reveal.
The Scotland international appears to be on the right track at Villa Park after Wilson encountered problems at Villa during his injury recovery.
Wilson agreed to a contract extension at Villa in April, sparking a long-awaited return to the under-21 outfit after his fitness problems.
Seven goals across Premier League 2 and the UEFA Youth League have helped the striker rebuild his reputation, sparking transfer interest this winter.
Villa News has been told that Wilson is likely to leave B6 in January, with plenty of interest coming from within the EFL and abroad.
