Wilson could be an asset
He is a young player with a lot of potential and he could develop into a quality striker with the right guidance. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for him. He should look to join a club with a clear pathway for his development and a prominent role in the future. If Tottenham and can provide him with the necessary assurance, it could be the ideal move for him.
The London outfit is looking to build a team for the future and investing in young players like Wilson would be a step in the right direction. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Arsenal to his signature.
It is no secret that Spurs need more quality in the attack. Even though the 18-year-old will not be part of the first team squad right away, he could develop into an important first-team player for Tottenham with the right guidance.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are one of the best clubs in the country, and the opportunity to join them is appealing. Will be exciting for the young attacker as well. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
