Harry Wilson: Liverpool winger completes Bournemouth loan move

Last updated on 6 August 2019.From the section Liverpool274

Liverpool winger Harry Wilson has joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old impressed on loan at Derby County last season and helped the Rams to the Championship play-off final, which they lost to Aston Villa.

Wilson made six appearances in Liverpool's pre-season games, scoring against Borussia Dortmund and Lyon.

Bournemouth paid a £2.5m loan fee with another £500,000 due in bonuses depending on performance.

No option to buy was included.

"It's great to be here, great to finally get everything sorted and I can't wait to meet all the staff and the lads," Wilson told Bournemouth's website.

"When Liverpool informed me it was a possibility to come here I was keen to get it sorted. I want to play Premier League football and with a great team like Bournemouth.

"With the style of play that Bournemouth are likely to play, I feel that I can fit right in and help the team a lot."

Bournemouth will be without Wales midfielder David Brooks, 22, for three months as a result of an ankle injury.

The Cherries will also be without 29-year-old midfielder Dan Gosling for a similar period because of a hip injury.

He's still very raw and improving this will take time which he will not get this season at Liverpool, at Bournemouth he will play regularly under the guidance of a first class coach in Howe.

Good astute move by Liverpool.

Just glad he's not being sold. A loan move to Bournemouth is a good call for him as they play good football. A lot of promise in this lad. I think he got 22 goals for derby last yr be interesting to see how many he gets this yr.

I'd have thought Liverpool would be tempted to keep him in the first team squad. He's quite a talent in my opinion.

Will get more minutes at Bournemouth, who are a great club, and if Liverpool need cover he can be recalled. Win win

Definitely a promising player for the future , I do not think he is ready for the regular first team squad @ Liverpool , he will get excellent experience at Bournemouth on loan , both managers know how to get the best out of a player

He's a player with a great shot. I just think he needs to improve a bit in terms of general play, e.g. holding onto the ball, accurate passing, staying involved in games, etc. To do that he needs to be playing every week, but at Premier League level. Bournemouth would be a good choice.

Hopefully he'll do really well and then challenge for places next season.

Should be back at Derby - we need him! Would be a great move for Bournemouth as he is a fantastic player. He will probably get more games at Bournemouth than Liverpool so would be a good move for the player.

Not a bad move all round. He would get game time, step up from Derby and working with a great attacking coach.

Liverpool ensure he develops and free up a slot for a back up striker in last days of the window

Far better player than Phil Foden.

Klopp has lost his marbles with this one. A squad on a diet further emaciated by loaning players out. First XI: good. Squad: a joke. This will be the difference between City and Liverpool this season. To have your dreams dashed for nigh on thirty must be heartbreaking.

All the best to the lad, but Klopp looks bereft of the ability to make good decisions at the moment. Lack of (quality) signings, wafer thin back-up for his front three, troubling times indeed. I think the writing's on the wall without kicking a ball in anger. And it's why City are clear favourites for the title; Klopp's Flops will be made to look foolish this season, (nearly) 30 years and counting

237. Many none Liverpool fans feel the same way about you. Short memory, boy.

Seems like a great arrangement. Eddie Howe plays a nice attacking style, the lad gets premier league experience and he can help keep a club that do things the right way in the premier league. Win-win.

@51 sugar free :- Well your comment isn't "fact" is it? Sterling, TAA both regulars who are also internationals and one has just become a European Champion. Keep your misguided facts to yourself.

Disappointed he is not getting a chance but Klopp obviously feels he is not ready. He would only be a back up but maybe it means there is somebody else coming in in that position.

Great move for the Cherries + he'll be working under one of the top coaches in in the premier league so he'll obviously go back a better player

@31 roverman

Average player who will achieve nothing??

He's already achieved more than you by not having to read the tripe you've put on here and do a job you've probably dreamed of when you go to work everyday to make ends meet.

Good move for Harry, not quite ready for us at the moment, but he'll learn from Eddie Howe (huge respect) and playing in the PL rather than the Championship, will only improve him.
