Fulham confirm Harry Wilson new contract talks as Raul Jimenez set to leave on a free

The former Liverpool youngster scored 10 goals in 36 Premier League appearances this season to attract interest from rival top-flight clubs.

Fulham face a fight to keep hold of Wilson, who was named the club's player of the season.

The likes of former club Liverpool, Tottenham, Leeds and Aston Villa have all been linked with a bargain deal for the 29-year-old.

Wilson has been reluctant to discuss his future publicly, most recently in April insisting talk of an extension would wait until the season ended.

"I feel like because the season from a personal level has been good, I kind of said I just want to concentrate on that," said Wilson.

"And I feel like any other distractions, I don’t want my form to dip. I don’t want the focus to be on my contract. I want it to be on the team and getting results."

Also in talks over a new contract are Samuel Amissah, Jonathan Esenga, Michael Allen, Chibby Nwoko, Tom Olyott, Jayden Quashie and Olly Sanderson.

Fulham face a summer of upheaval with the exit of manager Marco Silva, who will replace Jose Mourinho at Benfica.

Another big name also leaving in Jimenez, who has not been offered a new contract at Craven Cottage.

He will follow Steven Benda, Devan Tanton, Bradley De Jesus, Ollie Gofford, Charlie Robinson, Joseph Walters, Tom Wingate, Callum Cliff, Marcell Hall, Ruban Khan, Oliver Mayer, Harley Platel and Quinn Schutter out the door.
