Fulham pull plug on deal to sell Harry Wilson in Premier League rival transfer at 11th hour

Harry Wilson was set to join Leeds United but Fulham backed out of a deal, talkSPORT understands.

Leeds met a quoted asking price over the weekend but the Cottagers focussed on incomings, which delayed movement in the transfer.

Daniel Farke’s side were understanding of the situation.

By Deadline Day, Fulham wanted to renegotiate and Leeds made an improved offer.

There was an initial agreement resulting in a proposed deal sheet, which was signed by both Leeds and Wilson.

However, Fulham communicated the transfer was off just minutes before the 7pm deadline.

Leeds are naturally disappointed but did everything possible to try and sign Wilson.

Finishing touches for Fulham

Fulham were quiet on the transfer front throughout much of the summer but very active as the window drew to a close.

Marco Silva’s side have finalised the arrival of Samuel Chukwueze from AC Milan.

And late on Monday night, the club announced they’d also completed the signing of Brazilian winger Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk.

However, a deal that would see Tyrique George join from London rivals Chelsea fell through.

A £22million deal had been agreed between the two clubs, but it fell through at the last minute.

George scored against Fulham at Craven Cottage last season in a match that Chelsea went on to win 2-1.

He also featured in their controversial clash on Saturday, with Fulham losing 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

In terms of outgoings, Andreas Pereira has left the Cottagers for Brazilian side Palmeiras in a reported £10m move.

Martial Godo has also left the club in a switch to Strasbourg.
