Leeds United have reached an agreement to sign Wales international Harry Wilson after his contract at Fulham expired.
The 29-year-old is expected to move under Daniel Farke's management on a free transfer and will undergo a medical before formally announcing a long-term contract.
The signing of Wilson marks the end of Leeds' long-running pursuit of the winger — they tried to land him in the last transfer window and made a big push on deadline day 2025 but failed to complete the paperwork. Almost a year since then, the Yorkshire club have succeeded in getting their target.

His performances have been crucial to Fulham's campaign and former coach Marco Silva himself has expressed a desire to keep the winger at Craven Cottage.
Prior to his rise to Fulham, Wilson spent 16 years in Liverpool's academy and senior setup before finally leaving in 2022. He had various loan spells in England and Europe before becoming a key figure at Fulham.
At international level, Wilson has been an integral part of Wales — he has 69 caps and 17 goals for their national team. Leeds believe they are getting a player who is still at the peak of his career and can immediately help add creativity and goals to their attack.
While the potential resale value is small compared to younger acquisitions, the club sees Wilson's experience and late-game ability as valuable, especially cutting in from the right wing to utilize his stronger left foot. As a free agent with a high level of experience in the Premier League, he is regarded as one of the most attractive free transfers this summer for Leeds.
