Leeds have completed a deal to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer following his departure from Fulham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sky Sports News exclusively reported last month<\/a> that Wilson had spurned interest from Aston Villa and Everton and agreed to join Leeds.<\/p>\n Fulham tried to convince Wilson to stay and offered him a new contract after a career-best season in the Premier League where he scored 10 goals and set up seven more, which attracted interest from clubs in the Champions League.<\/p>\n His signing represents a real coup for Leeds and it comes nearly a year on from Wilson’s Deadline Day move to Elland Road collapsing at the last minute.<\/p>\n Wilson told Sky Sports News: “I’m really relieved.<\/p>\n “It was close last year and we got it over the line this year, so I’m delighted to be here.<\/p>\n “I think they had a really strong season last year, so I’m looking forward to getting here, playing in front of the fans here and having another good year.<\/p>\n Twitter<\/p>\n This content is provided by Twitter, which may be using cookies and other technologies.

They are also in ongoing pursuits for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles and free-agent playmaker Julian Brandt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds have completed a deal to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer following his departure from Fulham.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-751059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
