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. Competition is fierce from Aston Villa, Everton, Benfica, and even Champions League clubs, but sources say Leeds hold pole position for the creative talent fans see as key to climbing the table after last season's 14th-place finish.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Harry Wilson lit up Fulham's attack last season with 10 goals and seven assists, and now Leeds United are making a strong move to bring the Welsh winger home on a free transfer.
