Door opens for Leeds to finally sign Harry Wilson as Fulham enter £35m transfer talks
Harry Wilson has continuously been linked with a move to Leeds United.
Facundo Buonanotte remains the sole January arrival at Elland Road, though the Whites still seem intent on adding more players to their squad to boost their chances of survival.
Attacking reinforcements are likely at the top of the list of priorities, with the Whites having been linked with several wingers over the course of the month.
Among those linked with a move to Elland Road is Wilson, who could be about to move one step closer to a switch to Leeds United after the latest transfer news from Fulham.
Fulham in £35m transfer talks
Wilson is out of contract at the end of the current campaign, leaving Fulham with somewhat of a dilemma.
The Welshman has arguably been their best player this season, and they will not want to lose him halfway through the campaign.
On the other hand, they will also not want to lose him for free at the end of the season, which is what they risk doing if a transfer isn’t agreed this January.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Fulham are in talks with Manchester City over the signing of Oscar Bobb.
Any deal for the Norwegian would cost the Cottagers in the region of £35million, but what is worth noting is the fact that he plays in the same position as Wilson.
If a deal goes through, Fulham may relax their stance on Wilson, allowing Leeds to swoop.
Where would Harry Wilson fit in at Leeds?
Wilson has played on the right wing for Fulham this season, and to good effect.
The Wales international has eight goals and five assists for the Cottagers across all competitions, having made 25 appearances.
However, Daniel Farke‘s change in tactics has seen Leeds move away from a formation that utilises wingers and instead makes the most of the central areas.
Having featured there 44 times throughout his career, Wilson could easily adopt the 10 role at Elland Road, which would benefit the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor.
Having his eye for a pass would be crucial in transition, with his versatility also likely to come into play.
This is likely to be a deal that goes on until the end of the window once again, but the latest update can only be a good thing for Leeds.
