Daniel Farke’s side joins the hunt for the Fulham playmaker, who Alan Shearer dubbed “brilliant” during his standout campaign.
Leeds United are positioning themselves for a major summer statement. While Daniel Farke prepares his squad for an FA Cup clash against Birmingham City, reports from Football Insider confirm that the Whites are “definitely” in the hunt for Fulham star Harry Wilson.
With Leeds currently sitting six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone, the club is finally able to look toward reinforcements that can provide “top-flight comfort.” Wilson, who is in the form of his career, has become a primary target for several clubs as his contract situation at Craven Cottage remains unresolved.
Harry Wilson: The “Summer Bargain” by the Numbers
Alan Shearer hasn’t held back in his praise for the Welshman this season, calling his performances “brilliant.” The statistics back up the hype:
| Statistic (All Competitions) | Harry Wilson (2025/26) |
| Appearances | 29 |
| Goals | 9 |
| Assists | 5 |
| Contract Status | Expiring Summer 2026 |
Farke’s Balancing Act
The links to Wilson come at a time when Leeds’ squad depth is being tested. Farke recently confirmed that Anton Stach and Pascal Struijk remain sidelined for the cup tie, emphasizing the need for more quality options in the final third.
“Leeds would be in that market to try and sign Wilson,” says insider Pete O’Rourke, though he warns that competition will be fierce. For Leeds, securing Premier League survival isn’t just about safety—it’s the ticket to competing for “bargain” signings like Wilson, who could transform Farke’s attacking unit next season.
