Out-of-favour Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson has admitted that he has put thoughts over his Anfield future in the back of his mind for now owing to his commitment for Wales in the ongoing UEFA European Championships.
Wilson spent the last season in a season-long loan spell away from Merseyside at Championship outfit Cardiff City where the Welshman was an influential presence in the frontline.
The opening of the summer transfer window has given birth to talk that Wilson, who has failed to cement his spot in the first-team squad at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp, will be offloaded by the cash-strapped Liverpool outfit ahead of the new season.
Speaking to reporters amid his participation in the Euros, according to reports from WalesOnline, Wilson has claimed that loan spell at Cardiff was a ‘great honour’ for him with the extended game-time on the pitch proving quite beneficial for him heading into the Euros with Ryan Giggs and Co.
The 24-year-old insisted that he will take a major decision over his long-term future in the colours of Liverpool after the conclusion of the Euros which for now remained his sole focus.
“Going into the season, I had the Euros in my head. I knew that was coming at the end of the season.”
“I knew I had to be somewhere where I was going to play regular football, make sure I had the minutes that I wanted. I knew being at Liverpool I wasn’t going to get that.
“When the chance to go on loan came around, I knew I had to take it. To play for Cardiff, a Welsh team, was a great honour for me.
“This season, there were a lot of ups and downs. I think we started fairly well. We had a bit of a sticky spell in the middle, a change of manager, but then the last 12 or 13 games I feel I did well. I played regularly and scored a few towards the end.
“I was happy with the way the season finished and the minutes I got throughout.”
“When you come away with Wales, I only ever focus on the next game because I feel if you are to think about anything else you’d be silly, you can get distracted so my focus here is fully on Wales and making sure we get as far in this competition as we can,” he explained.
“Once the competition has finished that’s when I’ll think about what’s happening at club level.”
