Leeds United have officially secured their first signing of the 2026 summer transfer window, with winger Harry Wilson putting pen to paper on a four-year contract at Elland Road.
The deal runs until June 2030, marking a significant step in the club’s preparations for the new season.
Priority Target Secured on Free Transfer
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Leeds have completed all formalities for the 29-year-old Wales international. Wilson joins as a free agent after his contract with Fulham expired, following weeks of being a top target for the Yorkshire club.
The move comes after Leeds aggressively pursued Wilson, beating competition from several other clubs interested in the experienced Premier League attacker. He is expected to undergo a medical (if not already completed) and fully integrate into Daniel Farke’s squad.
