James Wilson

In May 2026, reports indicated Tottenham would not exercise their buy option on the player. This followed a February 2026 loan deal from Hearts to Tottenham that reportedly included an option-to-buy clause valued at approximately €3 million (£2.5 million). During the same period, amid interest from Arsenal, it was reported that Hearts' asking price was around €9.5 million (£8 million). The player's Transfermarkt value was listed at €1.2 million in February 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the reported €3 million (£2.5m) option-to-buy clause agreed between Hearts and Tottenham in February 2026. However, Tottenham's subsequent decision in May 2026 not to make the loan permanent strongly suggests James Wilson's current market value is below that figure. While a higher asking price of around €9.5 million (£8m) was mentioned during Arsenal's interest, the agreed option with Spurs provides a more realistic, albeit unexercised, benchmark, leading us to an estimate below that level.
