Leeds United has successfully secured a deal to sign Harry Wilson, marking a significant milestone in their pursuit of the Fulham winger. The agreement comes after a year-long chase for the 29-year-old Welsh international, who is set to join the club on what could be one of the largest contracts in Leeds' history.

Long-Awaited Transfer Finalized

The Whites have been interested in Wilson for over a year, having nearly signed him last summer before Fulham's then-manager Marco Silva halted the transfer. Despite a brief attempt to revisit the deal in January, Leeds has finally clinched the signing, as confirmed by journalist David Ornstein. Ornstein noted on X that Leeds has reached an agreement to bring Wilson in as a free agent, with the player expected to undergo a medical soon.

Competitive Offers and Contract Details

Wilson's decision to join Leeds comes amid interest from several clubs, including Benfica, Aston Villa, and Everton. Leeds has reportedly offered him a three-year contract, with an option for a fourth year, which will significantly increase his previous salary of £55,000 per week at Fulham. It is believed that Wilson's wages will be comparable to those of Leeds' current highest earner, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who earns around £90,000 weekly. Additionally, Wilson has agreed to a substantial signing-on fee as part of the deal.

With Wilson's arrival, Leeds aims to bolster their squad, and he could be the first of two notable free agent signings this summer. Following a standout season at Fulham, where he scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 36 appearances, Wilson is poised to make a significant impact at Elland Road. The club's owners, 49ers Enterprises, will be pleased to have outmaneuvered several high-profile competitors to secure the talented winger.
