Promising Scottish Youngster Targeted By Clubs Across Europe

Promising Scottish Youngster Targeted By Clubs Across Europe

Football Park understands that 20-year-old Rory Wilson is likely to go out on loan to continue his development after joining Aston Villa back in 2022 from Rangers. Wilson has impressed at multiple youth levels and signed a new contract may in April 2024, keeping him at the club for the foreseeable future.

We can now reveal that between eight and nine clubs have already contacted Aston Villa about the possibility of a loan move, including clubs from Denmark, Austria, Norway, Belgium, and The Netherlands.

To keep the young forward at the club, Aston Villa had to fight off major European suitors and has since trained with the first team on multiple occasions, undoubtedly under the wing of fellow Scot and Villa captain John McGinn.

Wilson has represented Scotland at U17, U19, and U21 levels, and will hope that a loan move will catch the attention of Steve Clarke. The World Cup may possibly be too soon, but his eyes will most certainly be on the 2028 EUROS, when Scotland will host all of their group games, should they quality, at Hampden Park.
