| Resolved | September 2nd |
Sweden's transfer deadline passed on August 31st with no loan fee agreed. Malmö's interest, reported by Sky Sports News's Anthony Joseph on August 30th, was contingent on Malmö first selling Erik Botheim; no confirmation followed that Botheim departed or that a Wilson deal was struck before the Allsvenskan deadline. Earlier interest from Norway's HamKam also did not lead to a move.
How the Story Moved
| Date | What changed | |

| September 1st | Tracked | Rumor opened on the board at 30% (contact) — source: Sky Sports News (Anthony Joseph). Malmö have made an enquiry for the 20-year-old striker, Sky Sports News's Anthony Joseph reported on August 30th, exploring a six-month loan contingent on Malmö selling Erik Botheim (subject to interest from Greece and Turkey) before Sweden's own deadline. GlasgowWorld, citing Pete O'Rourke on August 26th, reported separate loan enquiries from a number of League One clubs and from Danish Superliga and Allsvenskan sides, after Norwegian club HamKam's earlier interest earlier in the window did not lead to a move. Wilson, a Rangers academy product who joined Villa in 2022, spent the second half of last season on loan at Sturm Graz (four appearances) and is a Scotland Under-21 international. No deal confirmed as of this run. |
