Leeds given potential Harry Wilson edge as Welsh core could sway call | OneFootball

Leeds United are expected to reignite interest in Harry Wilson after his Fulham exit, with their Welsh core viewed as a potential advantage. Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Daniel James are all part of Daniel Farke’s squad.

Leeds failed with a deadline-day move last year, when Wilson had 12 months left on his Fulham deal. The 29-year-old delivered 10 goals and seven assists last season.

“It’s always a factor having the other Welsh players there,” the former Arsenal and Leicester City striker said. He was speaking to BestBesttingSites.

“You speak to your teammates when you’re away on international duty. You always say, ‘what’s it like at your place? Good atmosphere? What’s the gaffer like, what’s training like?’ So Harry Wilson would have had those chats, I’m sure.”

During the June internationals against Ghana and Romania, Leeds captain Ampadu said he was trying to sell the club to everyone and called an Elland Road move an easy sell.

“To go from Fulham to Leeds, I mean on paper it’s not a step up,” Smith added. “Leeds have held their own in the Premier League, but who knows how they’re going to do this coming season. Obviously, Fulham were more established.”

“I think he might have other offers because he’s a very good player, Harry Wilson, who can do spectacular things. But the fact his international teammates are there doesn’t hurt at all.”
