Leeds United Lead Hunt for Free Agent Harry Wilson
Leeds United are favourites to sign 29‑year‑old winger Harry Wilson on a free transfer after his Fulham contract expires on 30 June.
A photo by Ryan Pierse showed Wilson controlling the ball in the Premier League match against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on 25 April 2026.
Marco Silva’s departure for Benfica has left Fulham without a manager, influencing Wilson’s decision.
Tony Khan is negotiating a new deal with Wilson, but the winger wants to know who will take over at Fulham before committing.
Wilson’s agent has stalled the talks pending the appointment.
Leeds United previously attempted to sign Wilson in January, but Fulham withdrew the offer.
Wilson recorded ten goals and seven assists in 36 Premier League appearances, prompting former Leeds manager Gordon Strachan to praise his impact.
Aston Villa, Everton and Wrexham are also monitoring Wilson, who is a left‑footed right winger.
Leeds United seek a player of his profile despite his approaching 30‑year‑old age and the club’s focus on resale value.
Paraag Marathe, chief of 49ers Enterprises, highlighted that Wilson’s zero transfer fee removes financial risk, while a modest wage increase could be justified by his proven Premier League quality.
Daniel Farke requires immediate results, and Wilson offers instant top‑flight experience on the right flank.
