It's the equivalent of twitching nervously at the back of the classroom, hand thrust high in the air, reaching for the sky, eager for the opportunity to answer the question.

When Liverpool have been mulling over how best to bolster their attacking options for next season, a number of names have been mentioned.

And that's before the collapse of a potential deal for Lyon playmaker Nabil Fekir.

Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri and Gent's Nigeria international Moses Simon are among several players under consideration by Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team.

Yet there's one already on the books desperate to show he can save Liverpool a small fortune this summer.

When Harry Wilson resumes pre-season with the Reds next week, it will be with the determination of proving he can make the grade at Anfield.

He'll be bolstered by the confidence of an impressive stint in the Championship with Hull City during the second half of last season when, in 13 games, he scored seven goals and contributed four assists for a side towards the bottom of the table.

“I felt that it was massive for me,” Wilson said last month. “The goals and assists were great me and I was delighted to contribute there.

“I've taken a lot of confidence from the loan and also from scoring on my full debut for Wales this season.”

That international strike came in a 6-0 win in China in March, his second appearance for his country coming four-and-a-half years after his record-breaking Wales bow as a 16-year-old substitute.

Wilson has been similarly patient at Anfield, his only first-team appearance coming from the bench in the FA Cup third round replay win at Plymouth Argyle in January 2017.

Liverpool believe Wilson, who has long been touted for success, has a future at the club.

But having turned 21 in March, the Welsh winger is in the strange limbo of being evidently too good for the Academy side but still untested in the Premier League.

Indeed, despite having only played half-a-season with the under-23s, he still scooped the Academy Player of the Season at Liverpool's annual awards bash in May.

Wilson's progress hasn't gone unnoticed elsewhere, with reports suggesting both Huddersfield Town and newly-promoted Fulham are willing to pay £7million for his services.

He will be given his chance by Liverpool during pre-season, opportunities more likely early on with the late arrival of the Reds' World Cup contingent.

One of those will be Trent Alexander-Arnold, the shining example of how Klopp is willing to put faith in youngsters if the talent is there.

“It's great to see what Trent has achieved this season,” continued Wilson. “He's a lad who has come along the same path as me at the Academy and hopefully that will be me playing for the first team next season.

“I want to come back here after the summer, have a strong pre-season and show what I can do. I've got belief in my own ability.”

There's every chance Liverpool will have further bolstered their attacking ranks by then.

Wilson, though, will be a man in demand. Where that is, however, remains to be seen.
