Leeds United reignite Harry Wilson interest with Welsh contingent seen as potential edge | OneFootball

Leeds United are expected to reignite interest in Harry Wilson after his Fulham exit, and a former Premier League striker believes the club’s Welsh core could help tip the balance.

Leeds failed with a deadline-day move last year, when Wilson had 12 months left on his Fulham contract. The club chose not to cash in, a stance that risked losing him for nothing after a 10-goal, seven-assist season.

Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Daniel James are established under Daniel Farke. “It’s always a factor having the other Welsh players there. You speak to your teammates when you’re away on international duty,” said former Arsenal and Leicester City striker Alan Smith, speaking to BestBesttingSites.

Ampadu echoed that during the June friendlies against Ghana and Romania. Fresh from signing a four-year deal, the Leeds captain said he had been selling the club to teammates and called an Elland Road switch an easy sell.

Club football alongside international colleagues might appeal, but Wilson is likely to attract Premier League offers higher up the table with more money than Leeds. “To go from Fulham to Leeds, I mean on paper it’s not a step up,” Smith added. “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.”
