Fulham forward Harry Wilson has been reflecting on his first-ever interaction with Marco Silva, prior to signing an initial loan deal to join the Cottagers in July 2021, admitting that “everything he said in that phone call was true”.
Since then, the Wales international has gone on to make 180 club appearances, scoring 36 goals and providing 45 assists along the way.
"He was the one that brought me to this club," Wilson told Football Focus. "I was his first signing so we have been together for four and a half years now.
"It has been really good [working with him], even from the first chat I had on the phone with him before I signed. We talked about the way he wants his teams to play and the way he sees me playing in the team.
"When I look back on that conversation, everything he said in that phone call was true.
"Looking back, it is amazing to see everything that's come true for me. I don't think either of us knew where we were going to be in four and a half years.
"So to have won the Championship and then had three solid seasons in the Premier League, that is great."
