Danny Mills has told Sky Sports News on Friday (11.50am) that he believes Harry Wilson should leave Liverpool on loan this summer amid reported interest from Leeds United – and claimed a permanent exit could be engineered for a cut-price fee.

Wilson, 23, is out of favour at Liverpool and managed only his second senior appearance for the Reds on Thursday night during a penalty-shootout defeat to Arsenal. He has instead gone on loan to Hull City, Derby County and Bournemouth.

Goal have claimed that Wilson is a target for seven Premier League clubs with Leeds said to be rivalling Southampton, Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa. Leicester have shown previous interest this summer, while Burnley have bid £12million.

Former Leeds defender Mills reckons Wilson needs to leave Liverpool on loan amid reported interest from the Yorkshire club, and has also claimed that if a permanent sale was to be carried out – a potential cut-price figure could be arranged.

“There wasn’t any of those young players that gave everything, they didn’t show the manager I am desperate to get in the first team. The game wasn’t great,” Mills said.

“It was only Wilson’s second game, he is a quality player but I don’t see him getting into that Liverpool first-team squad – so I think he needs a loan. Who is going to pay £25m? If it is going to be a permanent move, it will have to be a cut-price deal.”

TBR’s view – Wilson would be a stunning Leeds addition

Michael Cuisance was all set to join Leeds on Thursday, only for a medical to flag up an issue. It saw Leeds cancel a move for the Bayern Munich star, leaving the Whites with the need to bring in another central midfielder.

If, as Mills says, Wilson should go on loan – Leeds should be all over a deal, but only if it includes a permanent option. Simiarly, if a cut-price figure is included for Wilson, the Whites also need to consider Wilson. He is the ideal addition.
