Aston Villa make contact as Harry Wilson’s summer race opens up
Aston Villa are among the clubs keen on signing Harry Wilson as a free agent in the summer, with initial talks already taking place and a decision expected in the coming months.
The situation is naturally drawing attention across the league: a proven Premier League creator potentially available without a transfer fee, at an age where he can still deliver immediate output and value.
Why Wilson is trending: output and a rare Premier League run
Wilson’s numbers this season have been strong, with reporting crediting him with 16 goal contributions for Fulham.
Even more eye-catching is his form since the start of December: only Erling Haaland has more Premier League goal involvements than Wilson in that period.
That kind of run is exactly what turns “interest” into “serious conversations”, especially for clubs searching for decisive final-third production.
The agency angle: Unique Sports Group and leadership structure
Wilson is represented by Unique Sports Group (USG), led by Will Salthouse and Gordon Stipic-Wipfler, one of the most influential agency groups in the UK market.
USG’s dealmaking has been in the spotlight recently, including their role in the Marc Guéhi move this winter, a deal we covered previously or Saelemaekers' contract extension with AC Milan. They also represent a long list of top names across major leagues, underlining how frequently USG operates in high-stakes negotiations.
With talks opened and the race described as wide open, the next phase is about project and role, not just money: who can offer Wilson the clearest pathway, the best tactical fit, and the right sporting ambition. If he does reach the summer as a free agent, this could quickly turn into one of the most competitive “no-fee” auctions of the window.
