Derby County and Swansea are leading the race to sign Harry Wilson on loan from Liverpool.
Liverpool want to send Wilson out on loan after they failed to sell him during the main transfer window and Swansea and Derby are among five clubs keen to sign him.
Wilson, 23, had a successful loan period with Derby two seasons ago when the Wales winger helped them reach the Championship play-off final.
Swansea are also showing strong interest and Liverpool have good relations with the Swans because of the progress Rhian Brewster made with them while on loan last season.
Liverpool and Wilson agree that he needs to leave Anfield to play regularly and he is not part of Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans.
The Reds have a host of options in midfield with summer signing Thiago only adding to the competition.
While in attack Klopp has a fully functioning trio and added Diogo Jota from Wolves in the summer.
Wilson’s appearance in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal was only his second for the Reds and his first since making his debut in an FA Cup tie against Plymouth in January 2017.
Wilson spent last season on loan at Bournemouth where he was one of their more impressive performers despite their relegation.
The Welshman was second in the Cherries’ goalscoring charts having notched seven times in 35 games.
Wilson has also had loan spells away at Crewe and Hull City earlier in his career.
