The summer transfer window is already heating up with a major battle brewing for one of the Premier League's most in-form players. Fulham winger Harry Wilson is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, putting a host of clubs on high alert.
Premier League Clubs Circle for Free Agent Wilson
According to reports from TeamTalk, Leeds United and Sunderland are both ready to 'battle' for the 28-year-old Welsh international's signature. The forward's current contract at Craven Cottage expires in June 2026, and with no new deal yet agreed, he will be available for no transfer fee. Everton and Nottingham Forest are also named as potential suitors in the race for the prolific winger.
Wilson's stock has risen dramatically this season after a run of sensational performances for Marco Silva's side. After being in and out of the team in previous years, he has become a central figure, contributing seven goals and four assists in the Premier League. His form since late November has been particularly electric, with five goals and all four assists coming in that period.
Silva's 'Magic' Praise as Wilson Hits Career Peak
Fulham manager Marco Silva has been effusive in his praise for the player's recent contributions. Following Wilson's match-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Silva hailed his current impact. "He's been incredible," Silva stated. "Right now everything he touches becomes something magic, something that will have an impact. You just have to try to take the best from him. It's the best moment of his career definitely."
Silva has expressed a desire for the contract situation to be resolved but acknowledged the complexities. While he previously stated he had "no doubt" Wilson would remain at Fulham until at least the end of the season, the longer the contract remains unsigned, the greater the likelihood of a summer departure. Wilson, who has 141 Premier League appearances with 26 goals and 18 assists, was heavily linked with a move to Leeds last summer, and that interest is reported to remain strong.
What a Summer Move Would Mean
A free transfer for a player of Wilson's experience and current form represents a significant market opportunity. For Leeds United, who recently beat Fulham 1-0, he would add proven top-flight quality as they aim to solidify their status. For Sunderland, securing a player with his pedigree would be a major statement of intent. His departure would be a considerable blow to Fulham, who would lose a key asset for nothing after his 'incredible' season.
All eyes will now be on whether Fulham can finally tie down their star man to a new deal or if one of their rivals succeeds in a lucrative free transfer coup this summer.
