Harry Wilson is a Welsh international who plays as a winger for Fulham.
Wilson rose through the ranks of Liverpool's academy and has enjoyed loan spells at Crewe Alexandra, Hull City, Derby County, AFC Bournemouth and Cardiff City. His playing situation ahead of the 2021/22 season is currently unresolved.
Wilson has played for Wales at under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, establishing himself in their senior national team since 2013. He has been selected for Wales' Euro 2020 squad.
Wilson joined Liverpool as a member of their under-nine squad. At the age of 15, he became a full-time member of the Liverpool Academy.
During the 2012/13 campaign, Wilson featured regularly for Liverpool's under-16s, while also occasionally featuring for their under-18 side.
He was promoted to the under-18s full-time for the start of the following campaign and was the joint-top goalscorer alongside Sheyi Ojo in the 2014 Ajax Future Cup.
On August 26, 2015, Wilson was sent to Crewe Alexandra on a four-month loan deal.
He made seven appearances for the Railwaymen.
Wilson went out on loan to Hull City on the final day of January, 2018. The move proved to be the spark that he needed. Wilson scored seven goals for Hull in 14 matches and won the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for April.
Wilson signed a new five-year contract with Liverpool in July of 2018 before signing a season-long loan agreement with Derby County.
Wilson shone for Frank Lampard's side in the Championship, scoring 18 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions. County made the Championship Play-off final, where they were beaten by Aston Villa.
While at Derby, he commented on his new nickname, 'Scouse Torres', which had been bestowed upon him due to the perceived similarity in appearance between himself and Fernando Torres, the former Liverpool, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker.
"To be fair, I've had that quite a lot on social media," the winger explained to The Derby Telegraph. "I don't see it, personally, but I think a lot of the fans do!
However, Wilson revealed that Steven Gerrard was the player who he idolised most.
In 2020/21, Wilson went on loan to Cardiff City and scored seven goals in 38 appearances.
Following the conclusion of hsi latest loan deal, it remains to be seen whether Wilson will be given an opportunity by Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
On 24 July 2021, Wilson joined Fulham for a reported fee of £12million, signing a five-year-deal with the London side.
Wilson was born in Wrexham and represented Wales in the Victory Shield at under-17 level. His performances caught the eye of then-Wales manager Chris Coleman.
In October 2013, Wilson was called up to the Welsh senior national team for the first time. He was an unused substitute in the match against Macedonia on October 11.
Four days later, Wilson made his debut in a match against Belgium, coming on as a substitute for Hal Robson-Kanu in the 87th minute. He thus became the youngest player ever to play for Wales, beating previous record-holder Gareth Bale by 108 days.
"If he fulfils his potential there is another good player on our hands," said Wales first team boss Coleman, as quoted by BBC.
Wilson had been eligible to play for England and there was speculation that he may pledge his allegiance to them instead.
Wilson was named in Wales' squad for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. Wales were drawn in a group with Turkey, Switzerland and Italy.

Wilson's maternal grandfather, Peter Edwards, won £125,000 after placing a £50 bet that Wilson would become an international soccer player. He placed the bet when Wilson was only 18 months old, as reported by the BBC.
"But when he came on I had another glass of wine. (I was) a proud grandad first for sure.
Wilson's precise net worth is unknown.
