Wilson ‘not close yet’ to new Fulham deal but talks are ongoing.

Harry Wilson says he is “not close yet” to signing a new contract, but talks are ongoing, and he insists he is satisfied at Fulham.

This summer, the club exercised an option to extend Wilson’s contract through the end of the season. Discussions have since taken place about a longer-term contract for the Wales international.

“There are definitely discussions about that. “I love it here, and since I’ve come here, I’ve felt very at ease playing in the Premier League,” Wilson told West London Sport’s new Fulham podcast.

“I’d say there are discussions about it happening. We’re not there yet, but let’s see what happens over the next few months to see if we can reach an agreement.”

Wilson scored six goals for Marco Silva’s side last season, half of which came against Brentford, their west London rivals.

He scored the winner against the Bees in May after scoring twice in stoppage time to seal a dramatic victory over them at Craven Cottage earlier in the season. It helped Wilson become a fan favourite.

The one-year extension kept Wilson, 28, at Fulham while also providing him with clarity during a World Cup year. “I wanted to know when it (the contract extension) was coming, towards the end of the season,” he told me.”This year is particularly significant for me.

I didn’t want to go into a World Cup year, which I’m hoping to achieve with Wales, without knowing what to expect. So I was glad to have that resolved. “So I’m confident that I can focus and work.

Because I really, really enjoy being here. “Playing at the highest level was something I wanted to do, and now we’re there and have re-established the club.

“I didn’t want my time to come to an end without the contract getting extended.”
