Extended Wilson loan should have Cherries buzzing

The Bournemouth Echo has reported that Harry Wilson has had his loan contract extended past 30 June ,so that he can play a part in AFCB last remaining nine games of the season. This should be a massive boost to the options Howe now has on the wings and as AFCB's second top scorer this season, Harry Wilson will be extra fire power to hand.

Harry Wilson stays to the end of the season.

While AFCB are unlikely to buy Harry Wilson over the summer, from Liverpool he has fitted in well and it will be interesting to see if Howe will play Harry on one side and David Brooks on the other wing at some stage during the run-in. Like David Brooks, I think Harry Wilson would be even more suited to playing behind the front striker as his game develops, as he has a powerful and accurate shot. Bournemouth simply don't seem to play that way very much though with Eddie Howe liking wingers to get round the back, but it's something he might consider in upcoming games.

Bournemouth will need goals more than ever now. The goal difference between the bottom few clubs is not large and it could come down to a few goals, especially if the league is not fully concluded and decided on goals and points per game.

Liverpool of course are in a position where they can be generous to AFCB, but they could have said no to extending the loan. It gives Wilson a bit of a window in which to showcase his talents and I expect he would have felt disappointed if he had not been able to complete the season at AFCB, having played in so many matches and having been a big part of the squad this season.
