Everton's attempt to sign Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson has been turned down by the London club, with head coach Marco Silva insisting there is "zero chance" of the 28-year-old being sold in January.
Wilson, a Wales international, was a target for the Toffees last week but Fulham have rebuffed their offer. The situation has caused frustration among Everton fans who had been hoping to strengthen their midfield in the upcoming transfer window.
As Wilson's contract expires this summer, it remains to be seen whether he will join Everton permanently or head elsewhere as a free agent. However, Silva has ruled out any possibility of selling his services in January, indicating that Fulham are committed to retaining him for at least another month.
Wilson has been an important player for Fulham since joining on an initial loan deal from Liverpool in July 2021. He has made 173 appearances for the Cottagers, scoring 34 goals and providing 43 assists, but has struggled with fitness issues throughout his time at the club.
Fulham's decision to reject Everton's offer is a significant blow to the Toffees' transfer plans, but Silva remains optimistic about his team's prospects. He has vowed to do everything in his power to retain Wilson, who holds an important role in Fulham's midfield, and is expected to play a key part in their push for European qualification.
With Wilson remaining at Fulham, Everton must now look elsewhere to strengthen their squad. The club is expected to make several signings in the coming weeks as they strive to finish strongly in the Premier League and improve their chances of qualifying for Europe.

... I was on a beach somewhere, and my cat (I have two cats, actually) was chasing this seagull that looked just like my old laptop 
. Anyway, it's weird how sometimes you think about something entirely unrelated when reading news 
. Like, what if Everton did end up signing Wilson? Would they still win the league? 
️ That's a fun thought experiment, right?
i feel bad for everton fans, wilson would've been a great addition but marco silva's plan is solid? 
. Maybe they can get lucky and pick up someone decent on the cheap? Fingers crossed! 
. Marco Silva's stance on not selling Wilson in Jan seems like a solid plan, considering the midfielder's fitness issues 
. Still, fans are gonna be bummed about this one 
. With Wilson holding a key role at Fulham, it'll be interesting to see if he joins Everton permanently or heads elsewhere as a free agent 
. Hopefully, Everton can find another gem in their search for midfield reinforcements 
!
. I was really hoping Everton would sign Harry Wilson 
, he's such a talented player 
, now Everton have to scramble around to find someone else 
.
. I think he'd be an amazing addition to their squad 
! But for now, it's back to the drawing board for the Toffees 
. Hopefully they can find some other talented players to fill the gap 
. They've got a lot of depth in their squad already 
. Fingers crossed for a strong finish to the season and a European push 
!
Still, it's disappointing for Everton fans who were hoping to strengthen their midfield. Maybe they should've thought of that before he started missing games left and right 
. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens now... 
i was really hoping wilson would join them but marcos silva's got this, he's been vocal about how much he wants to keep his players and it sounds like fulham are all in on keeping harry 
now its back to square one for everton, gotta find another player who can fill the void 
. Still, Wilson has been decent for Fulham and it's a shame to lose him, especially if he decides to leave as a free agent in the summer 
. Seriously though, I feel for Everton fans who were counting on this signing, but Marco Silva seems like the ultimate negotiator – he's keeping his options open and not giving away too much just yet 
and it's so cool! but back 2 this news... i dont get why fulham is keepin harry wilson tho 
. wilson might wanna think twice about heading elsewhere in the summer tho, he'll prob get offered a sweet deal by fulham or somewhere else! 
I'm literally FUMING right now about Fulham rejecting Everton's offer 4 Harry Wilson!!! 
I mean, who do they think they are?! Marco Silva is like "zero chance" of him leaving, but I think that's just a nice way of saying "we're not gonna let him go" lol. Wilson is such an important player for them and now they're gonna lose him 2 Everton in Jan 
. But on a more positive note, it's awesome that Fulham is committed to keeping him! He's had some tough times with fitness issues, but he's still scored 34 goals and made 43 assists for them
