Aston Villa remain interested in Harry Wilson despite Leeds United agreeing four-year deal with Fulham star | OneFootball

Aston Villa remain interested in Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson despite Leeds United agreeing a four-year deal with him, according to The Times.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke is looking forward to working with the Wales international at the Elland Road club.

The Whites have agreed to pay Wilson £120,000 per week, but nothing is official yet and Villa are still hopeful of getting him.

The Midlands club are offering Champions League football next season after winning the Europa League last term.

The Villans manager Unai Emery is looking to boost his attacking ranks and his club’s financial situation means landing a free signing like Wilson will be a huge deal.

The 29-year-old is out of contract this month and his return of 16 league goals and eight assists across the last two seasons appeals to plenty of suitors.

Leeds are currently in the driving seat after agreeing terms with the Welshman.

However, nothing is guaranteed until he puts pen to paper and Villa are trying to hijack the deal.

The West Yorkshire club came very close to signing Wilson last summer before the deal fell through in the closing hours of the transfer window.

They cannot afford to miss out on him again and will be despite to finally get a deal over the line.

Leeds had a private jet on standby to transport the Fulham attacker to Yorkshire on the last summer transfer deadline day having met his club’s quoted asking price.

The Whites had tabled an improved offer to sign Wilson after the Craven Cottage club indicated that they wanted to renegotiate the terms.

An agreement was reached between all the parties involved and a proposed Deal Sheet was signed by Leeds and Wilson.

However, Fulham pulled the plug on the deal after they failed to get Chelsea forward Tyrique George as his replacement, making it clear to the Whites that the transfer was off a few minutes before the 7 pm deadline as a result.
