Aston Villa are ‘pushing hard’ to complete the signing of Fulham forward Harry Wilson by the end of the season, according to the Daily Mail.
The West Midlands club are keen to welcome the 29-year-old Wales international on a free transfer following his impressive Premier League campaign with the Cottagers.
Wilson has 10 goals and six assists in 29 top-flight games this season, ranking sixth in goal contributions among all players.
Only Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, Igor Thiago, Joao Pedro and Antoine Semenyo have recorded more goal involvements so far this campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, a host of Premier League sides have looked at signing Wilson in recent months, including Everton, Tottenham and Leeds.
The Toffees pursued a deal in January, but Fulham were reluctant to lose their in-form attacker mid-season, although keeping him beyond the current campaign now seems almost impossible.
Given both his ‘magical’ form and expiring contract, Wilson appears set for a move away from Craven Cottage and could end up playing Champions League football next season.
Villa, who are pushing for the Welshman’s signature, appear well-placed to secure a return to the prestigious continental competition, sitting fourth in the Premier League with seven games remaining.
Wilson came through Liverpool’s system but made just two senior appearances before leaving Anfield permanently for Fulham in the summer of 2021.
The 29-year-old has amassed 180 appearances for the Cottagers to date, scoring 36 goals and providing 45 assists, and is enjoying a career-best season in 2025-26.
Alongside Wilson, several other Fulham players have expiring contracts, including Ryan Sessegnon and Raul Jimenez, whose deals also run out at the end of the season.

Aston Villa will need greater squad depth next season if they secure a return to the Champions League, and have reportedly earmarked Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte as another potential reinforcement.
The Uruguayan midfielder looks set to leave Old Trafford following a season of struggles and has no shortage of suitors across England and Italy.
Both Juventus and Newcastle are also reported to be paying close attention to Ugarte ahead of the summer, while Turkish giants Galatasaray considered a move in the winter transfer window.
