Everton have been linked with a move to sign Fulham winger Harry Wilson this winter.
Harry Wilson has been one of the Premier League’s best players this season, registering 12 goal involvements for Fulham.
Such form has alerted Everton and a host of other clubs across the division, as Wilson’s contract expires at the end of the season.

The Toffees have made an approach to sign Wilson but Fulham have rebuffed it, and now Sky Sports have just dropped a fresh update on his situation.

Everton target Harry Wilson set to stay at Fulham this month
Unfortunately for Everton, Sky Sports journalists Rob Dorsett and James Cole have just reported that Wilson is set to stay at Fulham beyond tonight’s deadline.
“Harry Wilson is expected to still be a Fulham player after tonight’s 7pm deadline – despite late Premier League interest.
“Wilson is out of contract in the summer, and increasingly likely to become a free agent, but Fulham are still attempting to tie him down to a new contract. Wilson has so far not agreed to sign anything.
“There is expected to be an even bigger set of options available to him when this deal runs out in the summer. Marco Silva has been adamant that Wilson is going nowhere in this window.”
Everton may, of course, decide to go back in for the Welshman in the summer, but competition will be rife for the expected free agent.

It looks like just Tyrique George for Everton
As the deadline draws closer, it looks as though Everton will only be able to make one signing in the shape of Tyrique George.
There had been speculation about the Toffees making a move for Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but that deal seems unlikely with just hours remaining of the window.

Moyes was expected to make three new additions this winter, so perhaps there will be a sense of disappointment around Finch Farm.
The positive is that Everton should have a more sizable budget to spend in the summer window, considering they’ve kept their powder dry aside from the George signing.
