Harry Wilson interest expected to be reignited as Leeds eye Welsh edge | OneFootball

Leeds United are expected to reignite interest in Harry Wilson following his Fulham exit, with the club’s Welsh core seen as a potential advantage.

Sky Sports reports that Leeds are working on a potential deal but expect competition, with the 29-year-old likely to have higher-placed, better-funded Premier League options.

Leeds saw a deadline-day move fall short last year, when Wilson had 12 months left on his Fulham deal. Craven Cottage chiefs chose not to cash in and the winger, who delivered 10 goals and seven assists last season, has now departed.

Leeds can point to a strong contingent of his international teammates, with Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Daniel James central to Daniel Farke’s squad. “It’s always a factor having the other Welsh players there,” the former Arsenal and Leicester City striker told BestBesttingSites. “You speak to your teammates when you’re away on international duty.”

During the June internationals against Ghana and Romania, Leeds captain Ampadu, fresh from signing a four-year deal, said he had been selling the club to Wales colleagues and called an Elland Road switch an easy sell.

“To go from Fulham to Leeds, I mean on paper it’s not a step up,” he 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.”
