Leeds United have been chasing Harry Wilson since last summer, and are pushing hard to get a deal over the line to sign him as a free agent.
Fulham blocked a move to sell Wilson to Leeds in the final hours of the last summer transfer window as the Whites thought they had a deal in place to sign him.
The Welshman will be out of contract at the end of the month, and while Fulham have offered him a new contract, he is likely to move on from Craven Cottage this summer.
Leeds are working on a deal to sign the winger on a free transfer. However, the club have acknowledged the fierce competition they are facing in the race to sign the 29-year-old.
Harry Wilson has been offered a big pay rise from Leeds United
Aston Villa and Everton are among the clubs chasing a winger who scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in 41 games in the 2025/26 season.
Leeds are aware of the competition they are facing if they want to sign Harry Wilson. However, they are pushing hard to secure a deal this summer.
According to Football Insider, Leeds have offered the 29-year-old a huge contract that would give him a huge pay rise if he moves to Elland Road.
The Whites have offered to make him one of the top earners in the Leeds squad as the 49ers realise that they need to back Daniel Farke in the market.
Leeds hope that the big money on offer, coupled with the opportunity to work with a few of his Wales teammates at Elland Road, would convince him to join.
Wilson was ready to join Leeds last summer, and the Whites believe they are still in pole position to sign the winger in the ongoing transfer window.
He will be a big signing for Leeds
Harry Wilson established himself as one of the Premier League’s most effective wide attackers last season and was arguably Fulham’s biggest threat in the final third.
His 17 goal contributions underlined his importance to the London club and went some way to explaining why Fulham were reluctant to let him leave, despite Leeds coming close to securing a deal for him last summer.
If Leeds can finally bring him to Elland Road this time around, it would represent a significant coup, particularly given that Aston Villa can offer the attraction of Champions League football.
Wilson would add pace, creativity and a genuine goal threat to a Leeds side that occasionally lacked unpredictability in attack last season. His ability to produce decisive moments in the final third is exactly the kind of quality Daniel Farke would welcome.
Even though he would arrive on a free transfer, signing a player of Wilson’s calibre would still be viewed as a major statement of intent from Leeds.
He may not be a marquee signing and the lads down the pub won’t be crying in their ale if if it does not materialise. His motivation may be financial and we can satisfy that because that is how it is.
