Harry Wilson has left Fulham and joined Leeds United following the expiry of his contract.
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.
Wilson, who has 69 Wales caps, links up with international team-mates Dan James, Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon at Elland Road.

Harry Wilson has left Fulham and joined Leeds United following the expiry of his contract.
It brings the curtain down on a prolific five years in SW6 for the winger, as he departs with 82 goal involvements (36G, 46A) in 187 games for the Club.
Following confirmation of the news, Wilson released the following statement on Instagram: “To everyone associated with Fulham FC, after five amazing years, it’s time to say goodbye.
“I came to the club wanting somewhere to call home and I definitely did that.
“This club will always mean a lot to me and my family. It’s where we brought both of our children into the world, and that will stay with me forever.
“To the fans, thank you. Your support has meant so much throughout my time here, and it’s been a privilege to represent this club in front of you.
“I’m so proud of everything we achieved together. Winning the Championship, setting the club’s highest Premier League points total and most wins in a season, and being part of such a great group of players and staff are memories I’ll always look back on with pride.
“To finish my time at Fulham as Player of the Season makes it even more special.
“The friendships I’ve made here will stay with me for life, and I’d like to thank everyone behind the scenes who work so hard every day to make the club what it is.
Tony Khan said: “I would like to thank Harry for his dedication and commitment to Fulham over the last five years. His flair and tenacity on the pitch made him a firm fan favourite, and his memorable goals even more so.
“He is also a truly great person and will be missed around the training ground, but we wish him all the very best for the future and thank him for his time with the Club.
“Thank you, Harry!”
Brought in as Marco Silva’s first signing alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Wilson made an immediate impact, reaching double figures for both goals (11) and assists (21) as Fulham won the Championship – form that saw him named in both the EFL and PFA Team of the Season.
A consistent presence in the side following our return to the top-flight – nobody played more matches for the Club over the last five years – Wilson scored 22 times in the Premier League, making him the eighth highest scorer in the division in our history.
A Wilson goal almost always meant a result for Fulham. Of the 33 matches in which he found the net, we lost only two, winning 27 of them.
The vast majority of his strikes were special, too. From long range curlers, to last season’s trivela against Crystal Palace, tap-ins weren’t really part of Wilson’s armoury.
His stoppage time brace against Brentford in 2024/25 will go down in history as one of the great Craven Cottage nights, with the equaliser that evening going on to win our Goal of the Season award.
He also added a Player of the Season trophy to his collection this summer, following a career best year that saw him register 11 goals and eight assists in just 38 Premier League and FA Cup matches, a record of one goal involvement every other game.
A very friendly man who always made time for the fans, Wilson departs with a fantastic Fulham legacy, and we wish him the best of luck – two games a season aside – at Leeds.
