The 29-year-old became a free agent on July 1 when his Fulham contract expired, despite their offer of new terms, following his best Premier League season in 2025-26 where he contributed a goal involvement every other game in 36 appearances. Leeds, who nearly signed him last summer before a deadline-day collapse, are now pushing hard with talks described as an aggressive approach, offering a long-term deal, pay rise, and signing bonus; he'd fit perfectly as a left-footed No. 10 or right winger alongside Welsh teammates like Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon.
