On Friday, on-loan Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson's winning goal against Armenia sent Wales to the top of their Euro 2017 group, and according to U21s boss Geraint Williams, Wilson has a bright future ahead of him.
Speaking to the Daily Post today, Williams raved:
"Harry is a great talent. He is one of the smallest players on the pitch...But he [overcomes that] by getting into spaces and running with the ball. He showed wonderful composure to take that chance against Armenia."
Some info about 18-year old Wilson:
* LFC website description: "All the hallmarks of typical left winger - bags of pace, a great touch, ability and acceleration".
* Oct 2013: Broke the record for youngest player in Wales’ history.
* Jul 2015: Included in Rodgers' squad for the summer’s pre-season jolly around the Eastern Hemisphere, but didn't play once.
* No goals/assists in 5 games for Crewe this season (averaging 36 minutes of pitch time per game).
* Started at Man Utd, as he confirmed 2-years ago: "My career started at Manchester United. It didn't work out there, but Liverpool said they wanted to have a look at me".
* On his footballing influences: "Ryan Giggs was an obvious hero. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm attack-minded and love getting forward".
Liverpool are desperately short of wide players at the moment, and if Wilson continues to progress well, perhaps there's a chance he'll get a recall during the January transfer window?
