Roberto De Zerbi sees Fulham attacker Harry Wilson as his potential first signing as Tottenham boss, with multiple outlets reporting on that interest.
Whether or not Spurs are in the Premier League next season, recruitment is a must. Survival will prompt them to want to put a huge gap between themselves and the drop zone next term, while relegation will surely ensure an exodus which means new signings are needed.
The hire of De Zerbi was made with the view that he'd engineer survival, and the former Brighton boss already has his eyes on a new signing for once he has done that.
Insider Ekrem Konur reports Tottenham have joined the race for Fulham attacker Wilson, and De Zerbi sees him as the potential first signing in north London.
Elsewhere, Liverpool and Manchester United are said to be monitoring Wilson closely.
The Welsh international was on the books at Anfield from the academy all the way through until his seventh year of senior football, when he joined Fulham permanently after multiple loans elsewhere.
Wilson, now 29 and in his fifth season as a starter in the Premier League, has surpassed 10 goals for the first time in the competition, and it's believed he's more than capable of doing a job.
Tottenham will only land Wilson if they're in PL
According to a TEAMtalk report on Tottenham's interest, clubs believe both the winger's experience and form mean he could deliver an immediate impact, despite the fact he's nearing his 30s.
For Spurs, it's said the signing of Wilson will only be made if they remain a Premier League club for 2026-27. And with interest from some big clubs, that's likely to be the case.
The report reiterates that United and Liverpool are in the mix for Wilson.
He is said to remain highly regarded at Anfield, despite playing only two senior games for the club, and they have not completely ruled out bringing him back for a second crack.
Given he'll be a free agent in the summer, Wilson could have a pick of a few clubs, and Wrexham have even been mentioned, but it's believed the only chance they'd have to land the Welshman is if they get promoted to the Premier League through the playoffs.
It is stated that in the coming weeks, Wilson's representatives will engage in talks with clubs to lock down the options available to him.
That he's been directly involved in four goals in his last four games will do his potential for a move to a big club no harm, particularly if he keeps that run going while talks are taking place.
