27-year-old winger open to Leeds United transfer in January

"Fulham winger Harry Wilson came close to joining Leeds United in the summer transfer window. The Wales international player was linked with a move away from Fulham with Marco Silva making new signings to strengthen his attacking options. The newly promoted side were looking to sign Wilson but the 27-year-old's move to Elland Road did not materialise on Deadline Day."

"With that ticking clock, the risk for Fulham is clear, lose him for free if no agreement is reached. According to Football Insider, Fulham could look to cash in at the next transfer window rather than letting him depart without compensation. Fulham's recent signings have increased competition. The addition of Samuel Chukwueze and Kevin, has added depth to the squad. While Wilson featured in recent matches, including being brought into the starting XI against Leeds, his place looks less secure as others push for minutes."

"The biggest motivation behind Wilson willing to leave Fulham in the January transfer window, possibly to join Leeds United, is because he is looking for more playing time so that he could be in the best possible shape for the 2026 FIFA World Cup if Wales manage to qualify for the tournament. It's believed that Leeds will re-ignite their interest in the January winter window. Key to their case, if Wilson's minutes reduce at Fulham, he may be more open to a move, especially to a club where first-team football seems achievable."

Harry Wilson nearly joined Leeds United in the summer but the move fell through on Deadline Day. Fulham have added attacking options such as Samuel Chukwueze and Kevin, increasing competition and threatening Wilson's regular playing time. The winger faces contract uncertainty at age 27, creating the risk that Fulham could lose him for free if no agreement is reached. Leeds remain interested and may re-ignite their pursuit in January, offering Wilson more first-team minutes ahead of Wales' potential qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Fulham may opt to sell in January to secure compensation.
