Leeds have signed winger ⁠Harry Wilson on a four-year contract after the expiry ‌of his contract with Fulham, ‌the Premier League club ‌said on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Wales ‌international is Leeds's first signing ‌of the summer transfer window under manager Daniel Farke.

"It ‌is a massive club in ⁠the ‌Premier League, where the club belongs, ​so I'm really excited to join and ​hope to have some exciting years together," Wilson, who ⁠has spent ​five years at Fulham, said in a statement.

Wilson played a key role for Fulham ‌last season, scoring 11 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions.

A product of Liverpool's academy, Wilson made 66 appearances for the club's Under-23 side but featured only twice for the senior ‌team and had loan spells ​at several clubs, including ‌Bournemouth and Hull City, before joining Fulham.

Leeds open their Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest on August 22.
