      Harry Wilson says leaving Liverpool for Fulham took his game to another level as he dreams of Euro 2024 glory with Wales

Although my dream as a young lad was to make it into Liverpool’s first team and play regularly, I knew that wasn’t going to be the case.“When I was 18, 19 and 20, I was trying to get into the team but they had, arguably, the best front three in the world.

His hunger to score is the biggest thing.Harry Wilson”He was our captain, our leader, our best player. To lose his goals and his influence on the team, there was going to be a big gap there. “It’s not just me but a lot of players are playing really well. It’s up to us now to make sure we chip in with goals and assists.”Poland and Barcelona hotshot Robert Lewandowski, 35, stand in the way of Wales reaching a fourth major tournament in their last five attempts and a third successive Euros. Wilson said: “Everyone knows how dangerous Lewandowski is. “His hunger to score goals is the biggest thing. Everywhere he’s been in his career, he’s scored both for club and country. He’s their biggest threat.”He might not be getting any younger but we know if we give him a chance, he’s going to score.
