Leeds United are now pushing to sign Harry Wilson from Fulham before the 7pm deadline as Adam Underwood looks to satisfy Daniel Farke with an attacking signing.

Leeds have made three attacking signings in the form of Noah Okafor, Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin but with only one Premier League goal this season, Farke has pleaded for more in attack.

Going into deadline day, there was hope for Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia. There has since been contrasting reports. Some say Villa rejected a loan for Buendia, but Leeds say they did not make a bid for Buendia.

There was also speculation that Manor Solomon could reunite with Leeds. But Leeds have decided not to bring Solomon back to Elland Road and now, Crystal Palace are said to be in loan-to-buy talks for him.

Leeds United receive reply from Fulham after Harry Wilson bid

Earlier this afternoon, LeedsUnited.News broke the news that Leeds were interested in signing Fulham’s Harry Wilson. A player that has long been a target for Leeds, dating back to Marcelo Bielsa’s stint.

Graham Smyth followed up our initial story, reporting that Leeds were in talks and that the club saw the Wales star as the eleventh and final addition unless something crazy occurred. Now, Leeds have a reply.

TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook has revealed on X that Leeds have made an initial loan bid for Wilson, but that Fulham have rejected it. However, LeedsUnited.News understands there is still confidence in a deal.

Why Harry Wilson could now be available at Fulham as Leeds bid

Fulham are busy themselves on deadline day, as Marco Silva’s prayers are answered. The Fulham boss has been crying out for new additions and it appears he is about to welcome Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk.

It appears that Fulham won’t be done there, with The Cottagers also doing a deal for Chelsea’s Tyrique George. Two wingers expected to sign on at Fulham with Silva’s side also linked with Raheem Sterling.

Plenty of new attacking additions at Fulham then, pushing Wilson down the pecking order and making him potentially available. But Leeds will have to go back in and make a second offer, to land his signature.
