Leeds United deadline day signing hinges of Fulham's ability to complete triple deal — FourFourTwo

Fulham are open to the sale of winger Harry Wilson with Leeds United keen on a deal

Fulham could offload winger Harry Wilson permanently before this evening's transfer deadline, if they are able to get a trio of deals over the line.

Craven Cottage chiefs are working on a number of incoming transfers, which includes Chelsea's Tyrique George, Shakhtar Donetsk wide forward Kevin and Nigerian attacker Samu Chukwueze.

FourFourTwo understands personal terms have so far been difficult to agree with Kevin, despite a medical having taken place, therefore Wilson may be required to stay in West London.

If Fulham are successful in their pursuit of George, Kevin and Chukwueze, the club could be persuaded by Leeds to do a deal more cheaply in order to get the player off the Londoners' books, rather than keeping a player who subsequently becomes surplus to requirements.

The Wales international recently extended his contract at Fulham, renewing for another year only three-and-a-half months ago.

Clubs usually employ this tactic to protect a player's transfer value, perhaps explaining the Cottagers' reluctance to sanction a season-long loan, with the player set to leave on a free transfer in 12 months.

Leeds have so far been unsuccessful in their attempts to sign the 28-year-old on a temporary deal.

Fulham's wide attacking options are limited with defender Timothy Castagne starting the season as Marco Silva's first-choice right-winger, ahead of the Wales international.

Aside from Wilson, the club's only other senior wide options are Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi, hence the desire to do a triple deal before deadline. That said, Emile Smith Rowe has also been known to play wide for the club. It partly explains why Leeds may end up empty-handed if Fulham are unsuccessful in two or more of their winger pursuits.

Wilson has featured in each of Fulham's three Premier League matches this season, indicating head coach Silva still sees him as a valued member of the squad.

FourFourTwo understands the two clubs remain in talks with a deal still possible if certain criteria are met.

Huge Leeds United transfer boost as 'personal terms agreed' with £17m midfielder after Sean Longstaff — YEP 16/7/25

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
