I think Liverpool could be among them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might be a surprise, but they\u2019ve got the Salah situation going on in the background, and they\u2019ve been looking to strengthen on the wing, so they could do worse than bringing Wilson back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not a flashy name and it\u2019s not necessarily the type of deal that would excite the fans, but he\u2019s proving to be every bit as good as other names they\u2019ve considered.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he can keep this form up until the end of the season and he decides not to re-sign with Fulham, it would be a low-risk option on a free transfer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiverpool have spent a lot of money on big-name players who haven\u2019t lived up to expectation, maybe taking a step away from that is exactly what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool eye Wilson among elite attacking targets<\/p>\n<p>While a return for Wilson would come as a surprise to many, he is seen as a low-risk alternative to many of Arne Slot\u2019s high-profile and big-money attacking targets.<\/p>\n<p>Brown told <strong>Football Insider<\/strong> last month that <a
