Harry Wilson is a man in demand. Yes it is the news all Fulham fans feared and probably knew was coming, as Harry Wilson attracts attention from Aston Villa - here is everything we know about these developments.
Do you want the good news or the bad news?
The good news is, Harry Wilson is performing so well for Fulham that he is attracting attention and getting the deserved praise for his incredible form this season.
The bad news is that the attention is not just limited to fans and pundits, but opposition teams, too.
And perhaps worst of all from a Fulham perspective is that regarding Wilson, they are in a very weak position as he is out of contract at the end of the season.
That of course means he can leave the club for free this summer and after a season in which he has 10 goals and six assists in 29 Premier League matches, it is hardly surprising that he has a number of admirers.
The most threatening at this stage appears to be Aston Villa, who the Daily Telegraph reported had initial talks with Wilson in February.
Now, transfer expert Steve Kay has said exclusively revealed that Villa had further talks with Wilson’s representatives on Tuesday.
It is understood that Villa have offered a three-year £120,000 per week package to Wilson.
At 29, Wilson is very much in his prime and he will be looking to commit to the best years of his career.
Fulham are understandably desperate to keep ahold of their star man but they are going to have to offer him a very enticing offer to stay with Villa not the only club trying to seduce Wilson.
Everton and Wrexham are also interested in Wilson and can both offer him attractive financial deals.
It is thought that Wrexham are hoping to deliver a major statement by bringing Wilson in, regardless of whether or not they are in the Premier League or Championship at the time.

Wilson would fit Unai Emery’s system like a glove, either operating on the right hand side of the front three or in the No.10, and he could join Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins in a hugely exciting front three.
Those two players, like Wilson, also have had to reach Villa and European football the hard way, with Rogers sold by Manchester City to Middlesbrough before joining Villa and Watkins coming through the Exeter City academy before making it to Villa Park via Brentford.
Wilson is going to be a difficult man to keep at Craven Cottage this season, but if Fulham are serious about pushing on, they are going to have to find a way to keep him at the club.
