Leeds United signed Welsh international winger Harry Wilson on a four-year contract on July 8, 2026, marking their first signing of the summer transfer window under manager Daniel Farke [1, 2, 3]. Wilson joined Leeds on a free transfer after his contract with Fulham expired on June 30, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
Wilson, 29, has earned 69 caps for Wales throughout his international career [1]. Last season for Fulham, he scored 10 goals in 36 Premier League appearances according to one source [1]. Other sources report Wilson scored 11 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions in 2025-26 [2, 3]. Before Fulham, Wilson was part of Liverpool’s senior team, appearing twice, and made 66 appearances for their Under-23s, with loan spells at Bournemouth and Hull City [2, 3].
Wilson expressed enthusiasm about his move, saying, "When the season finished and I became a free transfer, I felt Leeds were the team that really showed the interest in me. As a player, you want to play for a team which you feel like they want you and you feel like they are doing everything to get you. Really, really excited. It is a massive, massive club in the Premier League. To play for Leeds, you have to have a big personality. You have to be able to deal with pressure - the demands of the club and demands of the fans. You have to be able to take the pressure and go out and perform" [1]. Another statement called Leeds "a massive club in the Premier League, where the club belongs," with Wilson hoping "to have some exciting years together" [2].
Leeds United will open their Premier League season on August 22, 2026, with a home match against Nottingham Forest [2, 3]. The club has also been linked with Southampton midfielder Shea Charles and Germany midfielder Julian Brandt, though those moves have not been confirmed [1].
