Harry Wilson has officially signed a four‑year contract with Leeds United, saying the club’s ambition and Ethan Ampadu’s encouragement convinced him to reject other suitors.

Why did Wilson choose Leeds United?

The Welsh winger told Elland Road reporters that feeling wanted was decisive. "Leeds made it clear they were fighting for me," Wilson said, recalling how the club pursued him before last season’s deadline. He added that the promise of a supportive environment outweighed any lingering interest from Fulham, where he spent five years and scored ten Premier League goals with seven assists in his final campaign.

How did Ethan Ampadu influence the decision?

Ampadu, already a Leeds captain and Wilson’s Wales teammate, took on a "salesman" role during the summer. He highlighted the club’s progress and the chance to grow together. "He kept reminding me how great life can be here," Wilson explained, noting that Ampadu’s personal endorsement helped tip the scales.

What does the signing mean for Leeds United’s ambitions?

Leeds, freshly promoted last season, are focused on consolidating their Premier League status. Wilson believes the squad’s improvement last year shows they can compete higher up the table. "Staying up was massive; now we look upwards," he said, praising the players who made the previous season tough for opponents.

When will Wilson say goodbye to Fulham?

Although the deal is sealed, Wilson has delayed farewells to his former teammates and staff. He wants the transfer to be fully official before turning the page on his five‑year spell at Craven Cottage. "I have friends for life there, and I’ll say proper goodbyes in the next couple of days," he confirmed.

Leeds United’s recruitment strategy appears to be paying off, with Wilson’s arrival adding pace and creativity to a side eager to cement its top‑flight future. The club’s fans will be watching closely as the new signing integrates into a squad that already boasts a strong Welsh contingent.
