Nottingham Forest has reportedly entered a competitive race to sign Fulham’s standout winger, Harry Wilson, as Evangelos Marinakis looks to further bolster Sean Dyche’s attacking options.
Despite recently signing Lorenzo Lucca to replace the departed Arnaud Kalimuendo, Forest’s current strikers are finding their rhythm. In a crucial 2-0 win over Brentford, Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi—who netted his first goal of the campaign—secured three points that moved the club five points clear of the relegation-threatened Nuno Espírito Santo side. Because the central striking positions currently look well-stocked, the club has shifted its focus to the wings.
The Battle for Harry Wilson
According to Caught Offside, Forest is not alone in their pursuit. They face stiff competition from a long list of Premier League rivals, including:
- Brentford
- Aston Villa
- Leeds United
- Crystal Palace
While a January bid remains a possibility, a summer transfer appears more likely. Wilson’s future at Craven Cottage has become a major talking point after contract extension talks were recently put on hold.
Wilson’s Standout Season
The Welsh international has been instrumental in Fulham’s surprising surge to seventh place in the Premier League. His statistics this season highlight why he is in such high demand:
- Goal Contributions: 8 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League.
- Clutch Factor: Most recently scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 victory over Brighton.
- Performance Metrics: He currently holds a 7.28 FotMob rating, the highest of any player in the Fulham squad.
Impact on Forest
Under Sean Dyche, Forest has shown a renewed resilience, but the addition of a player like Wilson—who leads Fulham in several key attacking categories—would provide elite creativity and goal-scoring threat from the right flank.
