Harry Wilson is edging closer to a return to Yorkshire after Leeds United agreed a \u00a320million deal to sell defender Pascal Struijk to Brighton.<\/p>\n

The Wales international is expected to become Leeds’ first signing of the summer after agreeing to join the Premier League<\/a> side following the expiry of his contract at Fulham.<\/p>\n

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post<\/a>, everything remains on course for Wilson’s move to Elland Road, with the 29-year-old only needing to complete his medical and the remaining paperwork before the transfer is officially confirmed.<\/p>\n

Leeds have now taken another significant step in reshaping their squad after verbally agreeing a deal in principle with Brighton for centre-back Pascal Struijk.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old defender is entering the final year of his contract at Elland Road and, while Leeds are understood to have offered him a new deal, Struijk is believed to have decided he wanted a fresh challenge.<\/p>\n

Rather than risk losing him for nothing next summer, Leeds have agreed to sell the Dutch defender for a fee understood to be in the region of \u00a320million.<\/p>\n

Struijk has made 196 appearances for Leeds since joining from Ajax in January 2018, initially linking up with the club’s under-21 side before becoming a key figure in the first team.<\/p>\n

Brighton have been in the market for a central defender after selling Jan Paul van Hecke to Tottenham earlier this month, while experienced defender Adam Webster is also leaving the club following the expiry of his contract.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls will compete in the Europa Conference League next season after securing an eighth-place Premier League finish.<\/p>\n

For Wilson, the move represents a fresh opportunity after four seasons at Fulham.<\/p>\n

The winger made 133 appearances for the west London club, helping them establish themselves as a Premier League side following promotion from the Championship.<\/p>\n

Leeds, meanwhile, are preparing for their second successive season back in the top flight and are continuing to strengthen Daniel Farke’s squad.<\/p>\n

As well as Wilson, the Whites are said to be pursuing Germany international Julian Brandt, who is available as a free agent following the expiry of his Borussia Dortmund contract, while talks also continue over a move for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles.<\/p>\n

Wilson will hope regular Premier League football at Elland Road can also boost his chances of remaining a key part of Craig Bellamy’s Wales squad as preparations begin for a home Euros in two years’ time following the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wales international is expected to become Leeds’ first signing of the summer after agreeing to join the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,7946,101,56,54,55,90126],"class_list":["post-662757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-harry-wilson","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wales-football-team"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
