Wilson burst onto the scene at 17 during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring six times in 32 senior appearances.
He not only helped the team avoid relegation, but also made his Scotland debut in March 2025, becoming the youngest player ever to represent his country.
Head coach Derek McInnes arrived that summer, and Wilson played a major role in the League Cup group stage. Once the league began and Hearts launched an early title challenge, however, his minutes dwindled.
He started just one league game—a 3-3 draw with Motherwell—and made five further appearances as a substitute.
On deadline day, Spurs swooped in, beating rivals Arsenal to his signature, and it was no surprise the move turned his head.
Wilson was named on the first-team bench twice but featured only for the under-21s, and Tottenham ultimately chose not to exercise the option to buy.
Reflecting on the stint, Wilson said some questioned the move, but he valued the chance to train with what he described as an English top-six side alongside world-class players. Working with the first team, using top facilities, and experiencing the matchday bench, he added, helped him grow—and he hopes to prove that growth on his return.
