James Wilson
Date of birth: 01/12/1995 (age 22)
National team: England U21
Loan club: Aberdeen
Position: Striker
Yes, he’s still at the club.
Wilson was in fact promoted to the first team by David Moyes back in 2014 but didn’t get his big break until Louis van Gall became manager the following season. Although he did score a few goals, he was largely forgotten about after Marcus Rashford burst onto the scene and looked infinitely more promising.
Since then, the Englishman has been loaned out four times but has only managed to score seven goals in all competitions in three years. Yikes.
His latest loan spell with Aberdeen has looked promising, although it’s too early to tell for sure. He has scored one goal so far in his first three games in the Scottish Premiership. Let’s hope he grabs a few more.
