Leeds transfer news: Harry Wilson deal agreed as midfielder set to sign on a free when Fulham contract expires Football News

Leeds United have agreed a deal to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer.

The Wales forward is set to leave Fulham when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Aston Villa and Everton were among the other clubs interested in the 29-year-old.

Take a look at the best strikes during Wilson’s career.
Fulham tried to convince Wilson to stay and said they had offered him a new contract in a statement earlier this month.

However, he has decided to leave Craven Cottage to join Marco Silva after a career-best season in the Premier League.

Wilson scored 10 goals and set up another seven in the competition, attracting interest from clubs in the Champions League.

However, it is Leeds who have won the race for his signature – with Wilson falling at the last minute at Elland Road almost a year after deadline day.

Sky Sports News It is understood that both Wilson and Leeds signed a deal sheet in the hope that the paperwork would not be signed only for Fulham, to kill off the move.

As well as Wilson, Leeds are also looking for a move for Julian Brandt, who is set to leave Borussia Dortmund as a free agent at the end of the month.

Leeds are also in talks with Southampton for midfielder Shea Charles after their initial £20m offer was rejected by the Championship club.

Leeds summer transfer plans

Leeds face a huge summer window as they look to cement their place in the Premier League. Daniel Farke wants to add more individual quality to a squad that has built a reputation for being one of the toughest teams to come up against.

Addressing the goalie situation is a top priority. Talks are ongoing with Karl Darlow, whose contract expires on July 1, but if they go ahead, Leeds will likely need to find a new No.1, with question marks over Lucas Perry after he was let go.

Leeds made a bid for Jorgen Strand Larsson in January but Crystal Palace refused to match the £48m Wolves paid. They want to sign a striker again in this window. Relying on Dominique Calvert-Leone and Lucas Nemecha, who both have injury records, would be a gamble.

Leeds chairman Parag Marathe has announced that Ethan Ampadu has signed a new four-year contract.

Facundo Buonanotte is unlikely to return after a six-month loan at Brighton, while Joel Piroe and winger Wilfried Gnonto both have uncertain futures. Piroe opted to stay at Leeds in the last window despite widespread interest from Celtic in the Championship, while Gnonto is wanted by Bundesliga club Freiburg.

Leeds are thin on the left side of defence, with Gabriel Gudmundsson and Pascal Strick as their only natural options. Folk have struggled thanks to the adaptation of James Justin and could look to add another defender with similar versatility this summer.
