Leeds United are on the verge of signing Harry Wilson on a free transfer, with the Welshman choosing the Whites over Aston Villa and Everton.

What happened?

The 29-year-old's impending arrival has been met with excitement from fans, but a past incident involving Gabriel Gudmundsson may make for an awkward reunion. In January, Wilson was involved in a reckless challenge on Gudmundsson, picking up a yellow card in the process. Some suggested that he was lucky not to see a red card due to the nature of the foul.

Why it matters for Leeds United

The incident may have caused a stir on social media, but fans are quickly forgiving Wilson after the news of his impending arrival. Wilson's connections to the Wales national team are likely to make him feel right at home at Elland Road. The winger's ability to track back and battle for the ball will be an asset to Daniel Farke's side.

What comes next?

As of 26 Jun 2026, Leeds United are 14th in the Premier League, with 47 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDWD. The team has scored 49 goals and conceded 56, with a goal difference of -7. They are 38 points behind leaders Arsenal. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 14th | | Points | 47 | | Recent form | LWDWD | | Goals scored | 49 | | Goals conceded | 56 | | Goal difference | -7 | Wilson's signing will be a boost to the team as they look to improve their standing in the league. With his ability to play on the wing and drift into the middle of the park, he will be a valuable asset to the team. Gudmundsson will likely be pleased to be playing with Wilson rather than against him, but training drills are about to get much more difficult.
