The "magical" Welshman is officially the most in-demand free agent in the Premier League. As of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Aston Villa are among the frontrunners to sign Harry Wilson when his contract with Fulham expires this June.
With 16 goal contributions already this season, Wilson has become the ultimate "market opportunity," and Unai Emery is reportedly keen to bring his elite left-footed delivery to Villa Park.
The "Wilson Effect": 2026 Stats Breakdown
Wilson isn't just playing well; he’s currently in the form of his life. Since the turn of the year, he has been one of the most productive players in Europe.
Elite Company: Since December, only Erling Haaland and Bruno Fernandes have recorded more goal contributions (12) than Wilson.
The 2025/26 Tally: In 27 Premier League appearances this term, Wilson has racked up 9 goals and 6 assists, including a vital opener in Sunday's 2–1 win over Tottenham.
The "Free" Factor: Valued at roughly €20m, getting a player of Wilson's prime (28 years old) for zero transfer fee is being described by analysts as a "no-brainer" for Top 6 contenders.
