Leeds United fans are in desperate need of some good news as the club continue to encounter problems in their pursuit of targets this summer.
Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has turned down a move to Leeds United amid interest from Juventus, and Karl Darlow is yet to sign a new contract with the club.
Leeds are also encountering issues in their pursuit of German attacking midfielder Julian Brandt, who is desperate to continue to play European football next season.
The club do have an agreement in place to sign Harry Wilson, who has signed a four-year deal. However, they are yet to announce his arrival this summer.
Graham Smyth reveals the latest on Harry Wilson
Harry Wilson decided against staying at Fulham this summer despite having an offer to sign a new deal at Craven Cottage and agreed to join Leeds.
He has already signed a four-year deal to move to Elland Road on a free transfer. However, fans have been made to wait as Leeds prepare to unveil the 29-year-old winger.
Leeds are expected to announce his arrival imminently, and Graham Smyth has revealed when the club will announce the signing of Wilson this summer.
The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist has claimed that Leeds are set to unveil the Welshman as a new signing in the middle of this week.
There are no obstacles in the way, and the move is all but done as the winger has already signed a four-year deal with Leeds.
Smyth claimed that with every other formality already completed, only the official announcement and media commitments remain before he can be confirmed as a Leeds United player.
He will solve a huge problem for Daniel Farke
One of Leeds United’s biggest issues last season was their lack of creativity in games where they dominated the ball.
Daniel Farke built a disciplined side that was difficult to beat and highly effective on the counter-attack. However, when opponents sat deep and forced Leeds to dictate play, they too often ran out of ideas in the final third.
That goes a long way towards explaining why the 49ers were so determined to bring Harry Wilson to Elland Road this summer.
Wilson offers exactly the sort of quality Leeds have been missing. Farke already has plenty of hard-working, energetic midfielders who can cover ground and do the defensive side of the game, but the squad lacks players capable of producing that moment of inspiration to unlock stubborn defences while also contributing goals.
The Wales international fits that profile perfectly. He registered 11 goals and eight assists for a Fulham side that endured an inconsistent campaign, numbers that suggest he could make an immediate impact in a Leeds shirt.
His versatility only strengthens his case. Whether playing on either flank, in the No. 10 role or as an advanced midfielder, Wilson would give Farke far greater tactical flexibility and another reliable creative outlet in the attacking third.
