Leeds United’s struggles to score goals have exposed the team’s weaknesses, and manager Daniel Farke is likely to demand new forwards in the January transfer window. The team has gone over 270 minutes without scoring from open play, with their only league goal coming from a penalty in their opening game against Everton.
Harry Wilson Deal Seems Inevitable
Leeds United’s pursuit of Fulham winger Harry Wilson is expected to resume in January. Wilson, who was keen on joining Leeds in the summer, is now likely to be available for a knockdown transfer fee due to his expiring contract. Fulham may sell Wilson if he doesn’t sign a new deal, and Leeds are reportedly not expecting many problems securing a deal ¹.
Why Wilson Wants to Join Leeds
- Playing Time: Wilson wants to play as much football as possible ahead of next year’s World Cup.
- Current Form: Leeds’ attacking struggles might not be ideal, but Wilson’s skills could complement the team’s needs.
- Contract Situation: Wilson’s contract expires at the end of the season, and Fulham might be willing to sell him to avoid losing him for free.
Leeds’ Transfer Plans
- January Window: The January transfer window opens on January 1, 2026, and closes on February 2, 2026.
- Attacking Options: Leeds might look to bring in an attacker or two to bolster their squad, with Wilson being a top target.
- Budget: Leeds might not have a huge budget for transfers, but Wilson’s expiring contract could make him an attractive option ².
