Frank Lampard has confirmed that Derby County's man of the moment, Harry Wilson, can be recalled from his loan spell by Liverpool in January.

But Lampard is hopeful the 21-year-old Welsh international will remain at Derby for the entire season.

Wilson joined the Rams on a season-long loan in the summer and his two goals in last Saturday's 2-1 victory over Swansea City lifted him to top scorer on eight.

Liverpool fans have been watching the player's progress and some want to see him return to Anfield next month.

Asked if he can reassure Derby fans that this will not happen, Lampard said: "There is an element where Liverpool can call him back in early January.

"That is a conversation between the clubs.

"Liverpool run a fantastic department in terms of looking after their loans players. We have a lot of chat with them. We will just have to see how that goes.

"At the minute he's our player, and of course we want him to stay our player for the course of the season because he is contributing.

"Since Harry came there has been constant dialogue with myself, Liverpool and Harry. It is very open conversation.

"For me, he is here to progress, and he is progressing well. I hope he stays with us because I think we can work well for each other."
