Leeds United have won the race to sign Fulham winger Harry Wilson on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old is set to sign a long-term contract at Elland Road when his current deal in the capital officially concludes on June 30.
Leeds came close to completing a multi-million-pound deal for the ‘magic‘ Welshman on deadline day last summer.
However, Fulham withdrew from the negotiations at the last moment because a parallel move for Chelsea’s Tyrique George fell through.
Rather than letting the disappointment disrupt their pursuit, Leeds maintained contact with Wilson’s representatives and ultimately secured their priority attacking target.
Wilson was voted Fulham’s Player of the Season for 2025/26, notching 11 goals and eight assists across 41 appearances.
He also earned a nomination for Premier League Goal of the Season after a spectacular trivela strike against Crystal Palace.
While Aston Villa tried to use the appeal of European football to sign Wilson, Leeds succeeded by offering a more prominent role and a significant salary increase.
The presence of a strong Welsh core in the Elland Road dressing room, including Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon and Daniel James, was another factor.
With a medical scheduled to take place in the coming days, Wilson is on track to become the headline addition of the summer transfer window for Leeds.
