"Wilson is not the biggest name, so some fans might be disappointed if this ends up being the full extent of their club's business today. Still, the 18-year-old has already played regularly for Hearts and at senior international level with Scotland, so he could be someone with a very bright future in the game. James Wilson transfer: Where will the Arsenal and Tottenham target end up?"
"As per BBC Sports information as well, the young forward is not considered a first-team signing, so even if the deal goes through it could be a while before his new fans get to see him play. Wilson may well be tempted by Arsenal as they're the bigger name and clearly heading in a more positive direction at the moment. The Gunners also have a famously strong academy, so that could factor into his thinking."
Tottenham have joined Arsenal in late efforts to sign 18-year-old Hearts striker James Wilson ahead of the transfer deadline, with the move expected to be a loan to an Under-21 setup. Wilson has already featured regularly for Hearts and earned senior caps for Scotland, marking him as a promising prospect. Arsenal may attract Wilson with a stronger club profile and renowned academy, while Tottenham could offer a clearer, faster path to first-team opportunities due to less internal competition. The deal is being negotiated in the final hours of the window and a decision is expected imminently.
