Harry Wilson is set to join Leeds on a free transfer, with Fulham losing one of their more productive attackers as [Daniel Farke] looks to add proven end product without a fee. The move would make Wilson Leeds’ first summer signing, subject to a medical and the other formalities. It also closes a chase that has been running for more than a year.
Leeds finally land a target they kept coming back to
Leeds first tried to sign Wilson in last summer’s transfer window, and a move was also lined up a year ago before it collapsed on deadline day. They have gone back in and, this time, the deal has been accepted. Wilson has agreed a long-term contract at Elland Road, which is the sort of move Leeds needed after finishing 14th in the Premier League.
The attraction is easy to see. Wilson scored 10 Premier League goals last season and added 7 assists in 2025/26. For a side that needs more output in the final third, that is a far better profile than a speculative free transfer. Leeds are not buying upside here, they are buying a player who has already delivered in the division.
Fulham lose more than just a winger
Fulham's 2025 Premier League season ended 11th with 52 points and a negative goal difference of -4, so this is not a team leaving from a position of comfort. Wilson’s departure sits alongside the exit of Raul Jimenez and the expected managerial change, with Marco Silva opting to move on after his contract expired. That leaves Fulham with goals to replace and a bit less continuity than they would want heading into the next campaign.
There is still a small financial wrinkle around Liverpool's old sell-on clause, but the key detail here is the structure of the move. Wilson is leaving on a free transfer, so the sale route that would trigger a windfall does not apply in the same way. The main story is simpler: Leeds get a proven Premier League attacker, and Fulham lose one.
