<p><a href="/sport/football/teams/leeds-united" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leeds</a> have agreed a four-year contract with <a href="/sport/football/teams/fulham" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulham</a> attacker Harry Wilson to become their first signing of the summer on a free transfer.</p>

<p>The 29-year-old Wales international is out of contract next week, although the move remains subject to a medical and the formal signing of terms in the coming days.</p>

<p>It would represent a major coup for the Yorkshire club if completed. They faced competition from Premier League rivals for his signature.</p>

<p>Wilson has been a long-term target for <a href="/sport/football/teams/leeds-united" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leeds</a>, who attempted to sign him on deadline day last summer before the move collapsed.</p>

<p>His departure would be a significant blow to <a href="/sport/football/teams/fulham" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulham</a>, who offered their player of the season several contracts in an attempt to keep him.</p>

<p>He registered 11 goals and eight assists in 38 appearances in all competitions last season - an average of one goal involvement every other game.</p>

<p>Wilson joined <a href="/sport/football/teams/fulham" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulham</a> in 2021 for £12m from <a href="/sport/football/teams/liverpool" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liverpool</a>.</p>

<p>The Cottagers remain without a manager following the departure of Marco Silva to Benfica, but are in advanced talks to appoint former <a href="/sport/football/teams/liverpool" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liverpool</a> defender and Real Madrid interim boss Alvaro Arbeloa.</p>
