Leeds United summer transfer latest: Whites set to sign international winger
LEEDS United are set to confirm Wales international winger Harry Wilson as their first signing of the summer window shortly.
Wilson is due to undergo a medical ahead of sealing a move to Yorkshire on a four-year contract. Once that is complete and all other transfer formalities are finalised, he will be unveiled as a Leeds player.
The move, which would see the 29-year-old link up with international team-mates Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon, represents a significant coup for the Elland Road outfit.
Wilson, a free agent after running down his contract with Fulham - his deal expires at the end of June - has been the subject of interest from several Premier League rivals including Everton and Aston Villa.
His move would represent a case of second time lucky for Leeds, who tried to sign him on deadline day last summer before the move collapsed.
Long-time target Wilson, who registered 10 goals and seven assists last season for Fulham, would significantly add to United's offensive options ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Wrexham-born Wilson – who spent a loan spell earlier in his career in Yorkshire at Hull City, joined Fulham in a £12m move from Liverpool in 2021.
Leeds are pursuing other key targets this summer, including former Sheffield Wednesday loanee Shea Charles.
The Northern Ireland international, 22, impressed in Southampton's bid for promotion last term.
The South Coast club have reportedly turned down an initial approach of £20m from Leeds, who are expected to maintain their interest in the prized midfielder.
Borussia Dortmund and former Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt, available on a free transfer, remains a big target.
Brandt will leave Dortmund when his contract expires at the end of the month, having spent seven seasons at the club.
Leeds will have to fight off interest from Champions League clubs to sign the 30-year-old, who has represented Germany from under-15 level to senior ranks.
He was named in the German squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and has been capped 48 times by his country.
Brandt has also been linked with Villa, Spurs and Newcastle United.
