Leeds United’s new look strongest XI & bench after Harry Wilson signing plus keeper and defender moves

Leeds United have their first signing of the summer - giving the club’s strongest XI and bench a different look to it.

The arrival of Welsh international winger Harry Wilson as a free transfer signing was finally announced on Wednesday afternoon, Wilson having become a free agent this summer as his contract at Fulham expired.

Leeds almost signed Wilson last summer on transfer deadline day only for Fulham to pull the plug on the deal and the winger went on to bag ten goals and seven assists in a stellar campaign individually for his side.

But Leeds now have their man 12 months on as the club’s first arrival of the summer following the exits of defender Pascal Struijk in a £20m move to Brighton and also keeper Illan Meslier and last season’s Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte.

Meslier is now set to move to Arsenal as back up keeper.

At Leeds meanwhile keepers Karl Darlow and Alex Cairns plus right back Sam Byram meanwhile are all now technically speaking free agents upon their deals expiring, Leeds revealing as they issued their retained list that talks were ongoing with all three players.

That leaves their futures uncertain and here we run through our idea of the club’s new strongest XI and bench following the deal for Wilson including a big call with an attacker now moved to the bench.
