Everton explored a deal to sign Harry Wilson in the January transfer window.
The Toffees actually contacted Fulham late on in the window, but their approach was rebuffed.
The Cottagers were determined to retain Wilson’s signature, although there was speculation that a deal could be revisited in the summer.
Moyes’ current deal expires next year… 🤔

The Wales international is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning he’s due to become available on a free transfer.
However, Everton’s hopes of signing Wilson have now been dealt a potential setback.

Everton vs Liverpool stat.
Everton are facing competition for Wilson, with Leeds United and Wrexham believed to be interested, too.
Wrexham are in the Championship play-offs spots at the moment and have every chance of gaining promotion to the Premier League.
Wilson may be tempted by that move in particular, as it’s his hometown club.
Everton have other wingers on their shortlist
Wilson isn’t the only winger Everton are targeting.
It’s recently been reported that Crysencio Summerville is on Moyes’ radar after impressing for West Ham United.
Would you be happy with this potential transfer Toffees fans? 🤔

Watford’s Othmane Maamma is also being linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, so evidently Moyes is keen to strengthen out wide.
The benefit of the potential Wilson transfer is that he can operate as an attacking midfielder as well, so he’d bring much-needed versatility in the attacking ranks.
The 67-cap Wales international is much more proven at Premier League level than the aforementioned duo, too.
