Harry Wilson transfer: Everton have encouragement as Fulham eye £30m replacement
Harry Wilson is a player that Everton have their eyes on for the summer transfer window.
The former Liverpool man looks set to leave Fulham on a free transfer, and they have already started drawing up replacement plans.
A report from the Daily Mail on 11 April claims that the Cottagers are exploring Bayer Leverkusen’s Malik Tillman, who joined the German side for £30million in 2025.
It states that Wilson is poised to depart Craven Cottage when his deal expires, with the Blues, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace interested in his services.
Everton could capitalise and bring the ex-Anfield man to Hill Dickinson Stadium for the new campaign.

Why is the Fulham update encouraging for Everton?
Everton have eyed Wilson for some time, and it appears that they will have hope in the chance to sign the in-demand Welshman.
If the West London side are already looking at moves for a replacement for the 29-year-old, that suggests that they are resigned to the fact he will leave.

It seems like a new contract is not going to be agreed upon, opening the door for the Toffees and other teams who want to add him to their squad.
Why Wilson may choose a move to the Blues
Wilson could choose the Blues over their rivals for his signature, especially if they are in Europe for the 2026-27 campaign.
Villa may well have Champions League football next season, but his association with Merseyside could come in handy, and he may feel like he has a better chance of getting into the Blues side.
The Friedkins have revamped the Toffees’ finances, so wages should not be an obstacle, as Everton should be able to compete with Unai Emery and Oliver Glasner’s sides for the figures that the player will demand.
Playing with the likes of Jack Grealish, if a deal can be agreed to bring him back, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could be enticing for Wilson, as he will have a class supporting cast around him and a team that is on the up.
Only time will tell whether he comes to L3, but it is encouraging that he looks set to depart his current club, and Moyes’ side will be in the mix for his signature.
