Harry Wilson looks set to join Aston Villa on a free transfer from Fulham this summer.

The Villans look to have beaten multiple Premier League clubs to the Welshman’s signature, with the likes of Leeds United and Everton set to miss out.

Unai Emery has been very keen to sign Wilson, who is now “expected” to choose Villa as his next club, especially if Villa achieve Champions League football.

According to Wales Online, this Tuesday, Aston Villa are willing to double the 29-year-old’s wages to bring him to Villa Park in a deal that would be worth £100,000 per week, with the player now “ready” to join.

Villa have admired Wilson for a long time, and Villa News takes a look at the magic that the right-winger could be bringing to B6 very, very soon.

Harry Wilson’s MOTM display vs Burnley was sublime

Villa have already held talks with Wilson, and it may have been his performance in Fulham’s 3-2 win over Burnley earlier in the season that tempted the Villans to reach out.

The right-winger has been with the Cottagers since 2021, but one of his best displays came at Turf Moore back in December, where he grabbed two assists and a goal in a Man of the Match performance.

As seen in the table above, Wilson grabbed a 9.1 FotMob rating, which is his highest for Fulham this season, as he dragged his side to three points in this one.

The 29-year-old created three chances in the game, completed 100 per cent of his dribbles, and scored the third and final goal for his side to wrap up a fine outing.

Superb long-range effort vs Tottenham

Wilson is known for having a wicked left foot, and that was on display when he scored this screamer in a 2-1 away win over Tottenham Hotspur in November.

He possesses the ability to score from set-pieces and from long range, and this was a prime example of how he can take any game by the scruff of the neck and turn it into a win for his side.

Villa have missed having balance on the right flank, and Wilson offers creativity, shooting ability, and experience needed to give Emery everything he’s missed in the final third this campaign.

Stoppage-time winner vs Brighton, it was a beauty

Finally, the third and final top moment from this stellar individual campaign from Wilson has to be his 92nd-minute winner against Brighton in Fulham’s 2-1 win this Janaury.

The forward stepped up to take a free kick from more than 25 yards out, arrowing it past Bart Verbruggen into the top corner for the win.

His goal was that good it even had an xG rate of 0.03.

This is the type of stuff that Villa fans can start to get excited for, as Wilson looks Villa-bound, barring any dramatic twists.
