Leeds United close in on first signing of summer transfer window with agreement reached
Leeds United have got their man - as first summer transfer agreed!
Leeds United have reached an agreement to sign Fulham attacker Harry Wilson as a free agent.
The Whites have got their man at the second time of asking, having come close to bringing the Wales international to Elland Road late last summer.
Fulham's change of heart kept the 29-year-old at Craven Cottage for the 2025/26 season, which was the last on his contract.
Despite Fulham's attempts to keep him Wilson allowed his contract to run down and had a host of clubs interested in his services when the transfer window opened. But Leeds have won the race, as first reported by David Ornstein.
Wilson is due to undergo a medical to complete the move as Leeds look to address one of the vacancies they struggled to fill last summer.
They wanted a right winger/10 blend and Wilson ticks that box as well as bringing set-piece expertise to the table.Leeds are also in the hunt for Germany international Julian Brandt, who is also a free agent this summer.
And they remain in negotiations for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles, having seen an initial bid of around £20m knocked back.
