# Aston Villa: Fans react as Liverpool set £20m transfer fee on Harry Wilson

**Aston Villa [have been linked with a potential move](https://t.co/1KgH5ESmq8?amp=1) for Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson, who is reported to have had a £20m price-tag put on his shoulders.**

The Welsh international spent one year on loan with Bournemouth last season but suffered relegation to the Championship.

[Netting seven goals in 31 appearances at the Vitality stadium, Wilson followed up an impressive campaign in the 2018/19 season with Derby County, where he had scored 15 goals in 40 games.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-wilson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/279455)

Villa, who battled Bournemouth to maintain top-flight football last season, will look to improve this coming term with boss Dean Smith expected to bring in a number of new faces.

Wilson, could be one of those, having been linked with a move to Villa Park, but a valuation of £20m set by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could determine whether or not they make a move.

Reacting to the news of Wilson’s price-tag, Villa fans gave the following responses via @AVFC\_News. It seems the majority do not want the club to sign him, suggesting that the fee is too much. They may have a point, considering his current market value of [£15.75m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-wilson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/279455) is less than Liverpool’s asking price.

One even described him as a ‘glorified \[Conor\] Hourihane’, perhaps alluding to the fact that one of [Wilson’s key strengths](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/333044/Show/Harry-Wilson) is direct free-kicks, [just like the Irishman](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134172/Show/Conor-Hourihane).

> 12 tops in my view, i cant see them getting 20 million so it looks like yet another loan somewhere with an option to buy perhaps.
