Yes, I wrote banger merchant in a headline. It's done now, get over it.
Liverpool's loan star Harry Wilson has been tearing it up for Frank Lampard's Derby County in the Championship this season. The Wales international has scored eight goals in 17 appearances this season, and has now won the club's goal of the month competition three times in a row:

Lampard revealed in a press conference yesterday that Wilson can be recalled from his loan spell in January, but is hopeful that Jurgen Klopp will let him stay with the Rams until the end of the season:
There is an element where Liverpool can call him back in early January.
That is a conversation between the clubs. For me, he is here to progress, and he is progressing well. I hope he stays with us because I think we can work well for each other.
While all parties would probably prefer that Wilson stay in the Championship and get minutes under his belt, there is a nagging feeling that Liverpool's front three need more back up on the bench if they are to challenge on all fronts this season.
Liverpool have found a replacement of sorts for Philipe Coutinho in Xherdan Shaqiri, who is being utilised in a creative midfield role currently, though should the Swiss international get injured, there aren't many ready made replacements in the squad.
Perhaps Wilson's future a lot will depend on how Liverpool get on in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the Reds needing a win against Napoli to secure passage to the next round. Injuries could also play a part in Klopp's plans for the youngster, and Wilson's expertise at set pieces could be a massive assist for the Reds going into the second half of the season.
