Liverpool forward Harry Wilson is closing in on a season-long loan move to Bournemouth.

Talks between the clubs are progressing at pace and Standard Sport understands the Cherries are hopeful of concluding a temporary deal for the Welshman on Tuesday.

There will be no option to buy included in the agreement, which is also likely to feature assurances over playing time for Wilson.

The 22-year-old trained at Melwood on Monday but is expected to travel down to the south coast today to seal his switch to the Vitality Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp was initially reluctant to sanction a loan move for Wilson this summer after his successful stint in the Championship with Derby County last time out.

Permanent offers of around £25m would have been entertained but reported interest from the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa failed to turn into concrete bids.

As such, an opportunity for the Wales international to play regular Premier League football has been viewed as the next logical step in his development.

Wilson could be joined by another Liverpool academy prospect in heading for the exit prior to Thursday’s transfer deadline.

Leeds United are believed to have made Ryan Kent their number one target to replace Anderlecht-bound forward Kemar Roofe.

However, Reds sporting director Michael Edwards will not agree another loan move for a player who spent last season at Rangers.

And it is understood that a ‘serious offer’ has yet to be tabled by Leeds with time running out for an agreement to be reached.
