Although Fulham forward Harry Wilson was already expected to be of major transfer interest this summer, on the back of the most productive season of his career, the first Premier League side have been reported as making preparations to sign the Welshman.
With nine goals so far this season, the 28-year-old has been one of Fulham's standout players, and yet there has reportedly been no progress in talks over a new deal at Craven Cottage.
Wilson's future will be of major discussion between now and the end of the season, when his contract expires, meaning he'll be available to sign on a Bosman, or free transfer.
While clubs had been expected to be lining up to sign Wilson, the first Premier League side have emerged as being keen to sign the player.

According to a report in The Telegraph, Aston Villa have emerged as leaders to sign Wilson this summer.
Unai Emery's side are more than likely to be able to offer Wilson's the prospect of playing some form of European football next season, considering their current position in the Premier League, 3rd overall.
Aside from Villa, Everton are also said to be interested in signing Harry Wilson.
As a result of the competition, it now remains to be seen which Premier League rival succeeds in completing a deal for the player.
