Leeds United's Harry Wilson move ticks off specific Daniel Farke criteria, two more needs remain

Leeds United are in positive talks to sign Harry Wilson for free this summer, and he is exactly what Daniel Farke has asked for.

Paraag Marathe recently admitted in an interview that the club will once again take a strategic approach in the summer transfer window.

This included the possibility of looking in the free agent market, as the Leeds chief stated it will be another two years until the club can operate the way they wish in the Premier League.

Wilson's contract with Fulham will expire at the end of this month, and it has now been reported he is set to undergo a medical at Thorp Arch.

The 29-year-old looks all but set to leave the Cottagers after Marco Silva's departure proved to be one of the final straws for the player's decision to seek a new club.

Now, if Leeds were to sign Wilson, he would meet Farke's desire to add a left-footed right winger to his squad.

Leeds have two other priorities separate from Harry Wilson

It is said that Leeds will offer Wilson an improved salary than the one he was on at Fulham.

This likely includes a signing-on bonus, as the terms of the deal will be a long-term contract at Elland Road.

If Leeds do win the race for Wilson, they will beat Aston Villa despite their Champions League status and willingness to offer the player £100,000 per week.

According to a report from The Athletic at the start of June, one of Farke's and Leeds' priorities was to sign a left-footed right-winger this summer, which would come true with the arrival of the Fulham star.

The other two boxes for attacking recruits included a natural number 10, as well as another striker to add depth and quality.

Leeds already have Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha as starting options, but they don't really have a natural number 10 within their ranks.

What could this mean for Anton Stach?

Wilson recorded a staggering 17 goals and assists in the Premier League last season, and his set-piece quality is something that Leeds sorely need.

Anton Stach is on the majority of set-pieces for the Whites, though Wilson could replace him on duties from corner kicks and other dead-ball scenarios.

The want for a natural number 10 could suggest that Stach may drop deeper down the field, especially if Farke goes back to a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system.

The German head coach has hinted at wanting to make Leeds a possession-based side again, and steering away from a five-at-the-back formation is key to doing so.
