Harry Wilson’s ‘exciting’ reason for Leeds United transfer after Aston Villa, Fulham rejection

Leeds United have announced the signing of Harry Wilson on a free transfer after his contract expired at Fulham.

The Whites are in a great position after securing Premier League survival under Daniel Farke. Our objective now is not standing still, aiming to build on this with another inspired summer.

We’ve started well early in July, before pre-season gets underway, as the club unveiled a brand new addition.

Leeds United confirm Harry Wilson on free transfer – four-year deal confirmed

It’s been a drawn out process to get him pictured signing on the dotted line. However, Harry Wilson is officially a Leeds United player.

After an agreement was reached at the back end of June, it’s now been announced by the club, with the Wales international signing a four-year deal.

Importantly, Leeds weren’t alone in signing the right-winger, and for good reason. He’d just finished a stunning campaign in front of goal at Craven Cottage, scoring 10 and assisting seven under Marco Silva.

Fulham confirmed to have tabled a contract renewal. But also, Aston Villa and Benfica were also named in the running previously.

Harry Wilson teases reason for Leeds United arrival and Aston Villa rejection

Of course, we know the obvious reason behind why Wilson has opted to join Leeds over others. The financial incentives are clear at United with a four-year contract signed.

However, the lure of playing for a club of this stature, alongside multiple Wales compatriots, was what helped seal the deal.

“Making the right decision, some are easier than others,” Wilson said in his announcement video.

“They make sense and feel right. A proud past and a future that excites, the passion of these fans, and the roar from some familiar dragons.

“Decision made. Marching on Together.”

It’s clearly a statement from Leeds to get this over the line. What is clear is that a star from last season’s Premier League is 100% sold on the project here. Exciting indeed.
