Leeds United make offer in effort to beat Aston Villa and Everton to signing of winger - report

The latest report on interest from Leeds United in Fulham winger Harry Wilson

Leeds United have reportedly offered Harry Wilson a long-term contract and a pay rise in an attempt to fend off rival interest.

The 29-year-old winger is due to see his Fulham deal expire at the end of the month and an agreement over fresh terms has not been reached.

Reports have indicated Leeds are looking to tie up a deal for the wideman nearly a year on from their failed pursuit of him.

Leeds United table Harry Wilson ‘offer’

According to Football Insider, the West Yorkshire club are willing to give Wilson a pay rise and a long-term deal in order to win the race for his signature.

Aston Villa and Everton are said to be vying to emerge as frontrunners, while Fulham are still thought to be looking at arranging a contract extension.

Villa can offer European football and Everton are more established at Premier League level than Leeds. However, the offer of a hefty pay packet and a long-term deal could potentially swing the balance in favour of the Whites.

Wilson will turn 30 before the 2026/27 season ends and the prospect of having a big contract with years left to run on it could prove appealing.

A move to Elland Road would also reunite Wilson with Wales teammates such as Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu.

Collapsed 2025 move

Back in December, Wilson discussed the collapse of his proposed move to Leeds in an interview with Sky Sports. He had looked Leeds-bound on deadline day in the summer of 2025 before talks fell through.

He said: “It was the first time it had happened to me. I'm used to watching it on Sky Sports, so to be part of it was different.

“My phone was going off every two minutes. It was going to happen, then it wasn't going to happen. Then it was back on, then it was off.

“It wasn't a certain few days or 24 hours. I didn't know where I was going to be. It was a bit of a relief when the window closed and I could concentrate on the football."
