Harry Wilson is enjoying the best season of his career. And he is doing against the backdrop of uncertainty over his future. Wilson, 28, has scored eight goals, provided four assists and has already beaten his best returns in any of his previous seasons.

Furthermore, his goals have been crackers, whether it was his fabulous finish against Liverpool or a worldie against Crystal Palace. There have been plenty to choose from.

The Wales international started at Liverpool and was seen as a huge talent for the future but then had loans at Crewe, Hull, Derby, Bournemouth and Cardiff before finding his home at Fulham.

Wilson, who signed for Fulham for £12m, now finds himself in his fifth season at Fulham and his contract comes to an end this summer.

There will be no shortage of takers in this sort of form because he has helped Fulham into seventh place, he has been a huge goal threat and the fans have absolutely loved him.

The timing is great because he could be going to the World Cup this summer with Wales and his record of 17 goals in 67 caps is impressive at international level.

Fulham are keen to keep him but he is still on the original contract which begs the question why they have not renewed before now.

And the reality is that, before this season, he had not really caught light. Leeds tried to get him last summer but could not get the deal over the line.

Last season, Wilson was getting into the same positions but this season he is putting the chances away and he is in the form of his life and high on confidence.

He has always had the talent, belief and ability. But he was in-and-out for Fulham who now find themselves in a situation where they are keen to renew but Wilson also turns 29 in March so they have to be careful.

They have also signed Oscar Bobb from Manchester City and, while Marco Silva insists they want to keep Wilson, the likelihood is he will go in the summer as a free agent.

Aston Villa have been really keen and are the one club which might turn heads in this window because they are a club in Europe, have Champions League ambitions and that would be significant.

Leeds are keen again, Brentford and Sunderland but Wilson knows free agents can get better deals so it would take something remarkable to tempt him and Fulham now.

But this season does show that is mindset and mentality is superb. Some players cannot handle the uncertainty of being a free agent. Others thrive and chase a contract. That is not really the case for Wilson. But he has not been distracted by the uncertainty.

Wilson is far more likely to be in the camp of everything coming together and he is hitting all the right notes at the right time.
