Leeds United Agree to Sign Harry Wilson on Free Transfer

The deal settles a year-long transfer saga caused by last summer's paperwork failure, offering Leeds an experienced, goal-scoring winger on improved terms.

Overview

  • Leeds have reached an agreement to sign Harry Wilson as a free agent after his Fulham contract expires, with multiple outlets reporting a medical and long-term deal are imminent.
  • Wilson enjoyed the best season of his career in 2025/26, contributing about 10–11 Premier League goals and 7–8 assists and winning Fulham’s Player of the Season award.
  • Fulham publicly offered Wilson a new contract but he did not sign an extension and will leave Craven Cottage following the recent departure of manager Marco Silva to Benfica.
  • Leeds' move closes a saga that included a collapsed Deadline Day transfer last summer when paperwork prevented a switch to Elland Road, and the club reportedly won the race by offering higher wages and a long-term role.
  • The signing illustrates how free-agent moves shift competition from transfer fees to wage and contract offers and could boost Leeds’ attacking options while forcing Fulham to replace a key creator.
