Harry Wilson to join Leeds on free transfer in blow to Fulham

Harry Wilson is set to leave Fulham and has agreed to join Leeds United on a free transfer.

The Wales international has accepted a long-term deal at Elland Road and will become Daniel Farke’s first summer signing, subject to completing a medical and other formalities.

It means Leeds have finally succeeded in their long pursuit of Wilson, after first trying to sign the former Liverpool player in last summer’s transfer window.

But Fulham are set to lose their two top scorers as well as their manager, with Marco Silva opting to move on to Benfica after his contract expired.

Wilson scored a career-best 10 Premier League goals last season while Raul Jimenez, who got nine, has returned to Wolves.

Fulham had hoped to keep Wilson, who was also on the radar of Aston Villa and Everton, while Leeds have been keen to add more goals and assists this summer.

Leeds are also interested in Julian Brandt, who is available on a free transfer after leaving Borussia Dortmund, but face plenty of competition in the battle to sign the Germany international.
