Wilson can be Anfield hero, says Mccarthy
WALES ace Harry Wilson has been backed to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s plans for next season.
Wilson is a regular in the Wales team and is a certain member of Rob Page’s squad for this summer’s rearranged Euro 2020.
But he has had a stop-start career at Premier League level, with his spell at Bournemouth last year ending in relegation to the Championship. He is currently on loan at Cardiff City.
Many have suggested he could be surplus to requirements at Anfield, but Mick Mccarthy believes he could be a secret weapon for Klopp next term.
“Why could he not go back to Liverpool and play there?” Mccarthy said after Wilson fired in a superb hat-trick in Cardiff’s 4-0 win at Birmingham City on Saturday.
“He is their player. I’m not going to pick and choose where he should go, but he is absolute quality. “He is a great pro. “Even the first game when he was left out and everybody was shocked, he responded brilliantly.
“That’s what I love about him. His ability and sheer determination to play.
“He is Liverpool’s player and I would love to see him go back and play there.
“But he has been to Hull, Bournemouth, Derby, here. I think he feels he got a raw deal from the Premier League from his time at Bournemouth, because they got relegated and almost like it reflects badly on him.
“It shouldn’t do. I saw him play for them. I sincerely hope (the Premier League) is where he is next year because that’s where he deserves to be.”
Mccarthy added: “It’s as good a hat-trick I’ve ever seen.
“It was fabulous.”
