Liverpool legend Rush: We called Wilson ''the Welsh Brazilian'

Liverpool legend Ian Rush is convinced by the potential of Harry Wilson.

The Reds midfielder is currently on-loan at Derby County.

"He always stood out, even at Liverpool," Rush, who worked with Wilson at the Liverpool academy, told the Mirror.

"He was called 'the Welsh Brazilian' - he had so much skill that they used to call him that at the Liverpool Academy.

"He's always been special, as has that left foot of his. He's a good lad, he wants to work hard and he wants to be successful and that goes a long way as well.

"I think Derby was the right move for him because they play the sort of football that he likes to play. If you're going on loan I think you've got to go to a club that plays similar football to Liverpool ."
