- Leeds United have agreed a long-term contract with Harry Wilson on a free transfer, pending a medical and formal signing in the coming days
- Wilson, 29, is a Wales international out of contract next week who registered 11 goals and 8 assists in 38 appearances for Fulham last season — one goal involvement every other game
- Fulham offered their player of the season multiple contracts in an attempt to retain him, and his departure represents a significant blow with the club now without a manager
- Leeds had previously attempted to sign Wilson on deadline day last summer before that move collapsed, and they faced Premier League competition for his signature this time
- Fulham are also without a manager following Marco Silva's departure to Benfica, with the club in advanced talks to appoint former Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa
- Wilson originally joined Fulham from Liverpool in 2021 for £12m
Why it matters: Leeds land a proven Championship-level performer in Wilson for nothing, beating Premier League rivals to a player who tallied 19 goal involvements last season. Fulham simultaneously lose their player of the season on a free and sit without a permanent manager as Silva departs for Benfica.
