Leeds sign free agent Wilson after Fulham exit

Leeds United have completed a deal to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer following his departure from Fulham.

>Sky Sports News exclusively reported last month that Wilson had spurned interest from Aston Villa and Everton and agreed to join Leeds.

>Fulham tried to convince Wilson to stay and offered him a new contract after a career-best season in the Premier League where he scored 10 goals and set up seven more, which attracted interest from clubs in the Champions League.

>His signing represents a real coup for Leeds and it comes nearly a year on from Wilson's Deadline Day move to Elland Road collapsing at the last minute.

>Wilson told Sky Sports News: "I'm really relieved.

>"It was close last year and we got it over the line this year, so I'm delighted to be here.

>"I think they had a really strong season last year, so I'm looking forward to getting here, playing in front of the fans here and having another good year.

>Wilson, who has 69 Wales caps, now links up with international team-mates Dan James, Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon at Elland Road.
