EDDIE HOWE is ready to make a £25million move for Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.
The Bournemouth boss wants the Wales international, 22, as competition for David Brooks and Ryan Fraser.
Very unusual for Eddie to come out and make comments like above.
Sky yesterday said Liverpool don’t want to loan him out but sell him and figure reported was £20 million. Newcastle wanted him on loan but unlikely to make an offer to buy him. Villa also reported to be interested. So why would Eddie pay more than £20 million, unless he expects a bidding war.
Edit: Just come across this.
Borussia Dortmund have emerged as frontrunners for the signature of
Harry Wilson, who has attracted interest from a number of
Premier League, Championship and European clubs after an impressive spell at Derby last season.
The 22-year-old winger is valued at £25m by the club and is keen to play more first-team football and the German side appear to have now leapfrogged Newcastle and Aston Villa in the pursuit.

Edit 2:
More from Sky story yesterday.
With Newcastle seemingly cooling their interest, it gives an opportunity for
Aston Villa to further pursue their efforts to sign the winger, with Dean Smith reportedly keen on adding Wilson to his squad.
One source has suggested a fee of £15m rising to around £20m with add-ons would be acceptable for the club.
