Leeds seal Harry Wilson free transfer as Fulham contract ends

Leeds United have agreed to sign Wales forward Harry Wilson on a free transfer once his Fulham contract ends this month. Wilson, 29, posted a career‑best Premier League tally of 10 goals and seven assists, drawing interest from Aston Villa and Everton. His arrival gives Leeds United a proven scorer as they aim to cement top‑flight status.

Wilson’s 10‑goal haul placed him among the league’s top Welsh scorers. Fulham attempted to retain Wilson, offering a new contract this month, but the midfielder chose to follow Marco Silva to Elland Road. Leeds out‑maneuvered rivals by signing a deal sheet, only for Fulham to miss the paperwork deadline, effectively handing the Whites the signature. The club also eyes Julian Brandt and Shea Charles as reinforcements.

Securing Wilson adds pace and goal threat to a Leeds side that must bolster its attack after a thin summer window. Manager Daniel Farke still needs a reliable goalkeeper and a left‑back, while injuries to Dominic Calvert‑Lewin and Lukas Nmecha leave striker depth in doubt. Wilson’s arrival directly addresses the creative deficit that plagued United’s opening fixtures ahead of the new campaign.
