Fulham pulled the plug on Harry Wilson joining Leeds United after their move for Chelsea player Tyrique George collapsed | OneFootball

Leeds United put a private jet on standby to transport Fulham attacker Harry Wilson to Yorkshire yesterday, according to talkSPORT.

They wanted to bring the Wales international to Elland Road after meeting his club’s quoted asking price over the weekend.

However, Fulham pulled the plug on the deal after they failed to get Chelsea forward Tyrique George as his replacement.

Leeds tabled an improved offer to sign the 28-year-old ‘great talent‘ after the Craven Cottage club indicated that they wanted to renegotiate the terms.

An agreement was reached, leading to the signing of a proposed deal sheet by Leeds and Wilson.

However, Fulham informed the Whites that the transfer was off a few minutes before the 7.00 p.m. deadline.

They wanted to sign a replacement but a deal for George fell through, and they opted to hold on to the former Liverpool star.

Leeds were gutted as signing Wilson would have been a great deal.

The Fulham star brings Premier League quality and experience to the table, and he was keen to join the Whites, but his club said ‘no’ to the move.

Leeds will now have to make do with what they have until the transfer window reopens in January.

They added Lukas Nmecha, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor to their attack, and they could all prove to be decent signings.

Leeds have picked up four points in their opening three games of the new Premier League campaign, and they have what it takes to pick up plenty of points in their next nine league games.

The Whites play Fulham immediately after the international break before games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley, West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
