- Leeds United have agreed a deal to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer, with the 29-year-old Wales forward set to leave Fulham when his contract expires at the end of June, subject to completing a medical.
- Wilson scored 11 goals and provided eight assists for Fulham in 2025/26 — 10 goals and seven assists in the Premier League alone — attracting interest from Champions League clubs before choosing a long-term deal at Elland Road over Fulham's new-contract offer.
- Aston Villa and Everton were among the clubs who pursued the Welsh international, with Fulham attempting to retain him after what Sky Sports describes as a career-best season.
- Leeds nearly signed Wilson a year ago on Deadline Day, but the move collapsed when Fulham failed to sign the paperwork despite both clubs having signed a deal sheet to finalise the transfer.
- Leeds are also exploring a free-agent move for Julian Brandt after his Borussia Dortmund deal expires and remain in talks with Southampton for midfielder Shea Charles after an initial £20m offer was rejected.
Why it matters: Wilson arrives on a free after a career-best 11-goal, 8-assist season, giving Leeds attacking quality at no transfer fee at a time when manager Daniel Farke is under pressure to add individual brilliance to a squad fighting to stay in the Premier League — with goalkeeper, striker, and left-back positions all flagged as priorities in a pivotal summer window.
