Wilson, 29, has been Wales’ outstanding performer under Craig Bellamy and 12 of his 17 career international goals have come in the past three years.

The former Liverpool and Bournemouth player is out of contract with Fulham this summer and has been linked with a move to several other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Everton and Leeds United.
