Leeds United ‘to join’ Everton in £25m Wilson Isidor chase as summer exit mooted | OneFootball

Leeds United have been linked with a summer move for Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor as they prepare for a Premier League return. Football Insider reports the Elland Road club are monitoring his situation.

Isidor was influential in Sunderland’s promotion and started this season positively, but minutes have dwindled since Brian Brobbey became Régis Le Bris’ preferred central striker.

The 25-year-old has not started in the league since early December and has one goal in his last 24 outings. He has five Premier League goals, and his reduced role has fuelled uncertainty over his future.

Leeds are said to want more competition in attack, with Daniel Farke expected to bolster his forwards. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor are already part of the picture, and Isidor is among the options.

There have been suggestions the Frenchman could look to move on for more regular football. Everton and Nottingham Forest were credited with interest in January, while Crystal Palace and Burnley were said to have explored late loan options.

Sunderland resisted mid-season sales as they focused on top-flight survival, but the stance could shift if suitable bids arrive. Isidor is under contract until 2028 and was valued at about £25m in January, though that may need to drop for a summer exit.

His situation sits within a broader attacking review before Le Bris’ second Premier League campaign, with Brobbey’s emergence reshaping the pecking order. Sporting director Florent Ghisolfi is expected to assess further forward additions during the window.
