“He had a really good half season in Swansea and it was really impressive, he came here to
season and scored for us, you could see that he made great strides. It’s about development; if Rhian were 25 or 26 now, we would say stay and work for the chance; it’s a different situation when you’re younger.

refuses to compromise on its £ 15 million valuation of the Wales international.

However, the Turf Moor club is reluctant to go so high in its bid for Wilson, with The
