Marco Silva insisted that Fulham are doing everything in their power to get Harry Wilson to put pen to paper on fresh terms with the club after a sensational season.

Wilson grabbed a goal and an assist during Fulham’s 2-1 win over Tottenham at Craven Cottage last time out, continuing his fine recent form.

Since the start of December 2025, only Erling Haaland (14) and Bruno Fernandes (13) have more goal involvements in the Premier League than Wilson (12).

But the 28-year-old's current deal runs out at the end of the campaign, and Silva has expressed his desire for the midfielder to remain with the Cottagers for more years to come.

"He's enjoying this season. He has the people around him to take care of the contract situation," Silva said. 

"Our club is trying to have contact with them as much as they can to solve it. I'm not going to hide it; the better he plays, the fight [to keep him] is going to be bigger.

"It's clear, but we prefer it in this way. Of course, when a player goes into the last year of his contract and is performing so well, like Harry is doing, it's going to happen.

"The reality is we are not giving up at all. We are very pleased with him. He's enjoying life with us as well.

"Now it's a moment for the people around him to take care of his future and, of course, for us as a football club to try to get him with us for the next years."

Wilson will be hoping to continue his hot streak against West Ham on Wednesday, with Nuno Espirito Santo's side two points adrift of safety at the bottom of the Premier League.

The Hammers lost 5-2 to Liverpool in their last top-flight encounter, but there were signs of optimism for Nuno with his team having more than enough chances at Anfield.

But it is points on the board that West Ham crave, with Nottingham Forest and Tottenham also struggling in their respective battles for survival this season.

"I watch all the games in the Premier League," Nuno said when asked if he was watching his former club and Spurs' recent matches. "We are focused on ourselves, though.

"We didn't achieve a result in our game, and that's what we have to focus on, it's what is really important for us."

When asked if he was surprised by Forest and Spurs' involvement at the bottom, Nuno added: "It shows how competitive and difficult the Premier League is for all the teams.

"It is the best league in the world, where the best players are, so everything is possible in the Premier League."

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Fulham – Harry Wilson

Wilson has been the standout performer for Fulham, with the Wales international directly involved in 15 goals in the Premier League this season (nine goals, six assists).

The last Fulham player to record more in a single campaign in the competition was Dimitar Berbatov in 2012-13 (18 – 15 goals, three assists).

West Ham – Jarrod Bowen

Jarrod Bowen has scored five of West Ham's last nine London derby goals in the Premier League, but the Hammers captain returns to a ground he has struggled at of late.

Indeed, Bowen has never found the net in four appearances at Craven Cottage in the division, only playing more times at the Etihad Stadium and Goodison Park without a goal (both five).

MATCH PREDICTION: FULHAM WIN

Fulham are looking to record just their second Premier League double over West Ham, beating them twice in 2023-24. They won 1-0 at the London Stadium earlier this season.

The Cottagers have also won seven of their last 10 home evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League (D1 L2), beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Chelsea 2-1 in their last two.

And Silva's men will be confident of a victory here, especially given West Ham have lost seven of their eight Premier League London derbies this season (W1).

Only Charlton Athletic in 2006-07 (eight), Queens Park Rangers in 2014-15 (eight), and Fulham in 2018-19 (10) have lost more all-London games in a single campaign in the competition.

The Hammers did win six of their first eight away Premier League games against Fulham between 2001-02 and 2010-11, but they have won just two of their last seven since (D2 L3).

Nuno also won four of his first five Premier League games against Fulham (D1), but he has lost his last three against the Cottagers (two with Forest, one with West Ham).
