Former Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has told the club to go and sign Liverpool forward Harry Wilson.
Bent has claimed that Liverpool are looking for £20m for Wilson and that it would be a superb signing for Villa if they could bring him in before the end of the window.
Wilson spent the 2018/19 season on loan to Derby County in the Championship and scored 18 goals in all competitions for Frank Lampard’s side, catching the eye on the right wing.
Villa are currently lacking in depth out wide and Bent clearly feels that Wilson would be a welcome addition to Dean Smith’s side.
As quoted by The Daily Star, Bent said this:
I’m a big fan of his, I think Liverpool are saying £20m on his head.
That is a snippet, that is an absolute snippet. He is a top talent, he’s got all the attributes.
He can hit a dead ball, he can go past people, he’s quick, he works hard, he’s a good guy around the changing room.
Anyone who is looking to get him for £20m, that’s a snip, I think he’ll get better and better.
If someone can go and get him, like Aston Villa, for £20m that is a snippet.
Villa have already spent well over £100m in the transfer market since their promotion to the Premier League, bringing in the likes of Wesley, Tyrone Mings and Trezeguet on permanent deals.
