Leeds are in talks to sign out-of-contract Fulham winger Harry Wilson.
Fulham have offered Wilson, whose current contract expires on June 30, a new deal and Standard Sport understands that proposal is still on the table.
Wilson, though, is exploring his options and has entered into talks with Leeds, who he came close to joining on Deadline Day last summer.
The 29-year-old nearly signed for Daniel Farke’s side before Fulham pulled out of negotiations at the eleventh hour after failing to get a deal for Chelsea winger Tyrique George over the line.
Reports suggest that Leeds are prepared to offer Wilson a long-term contract and a pay rise to seal a move to Elland Road.
Wilson is in demand, with Aston Villa and Everton also credited with interest in the Wales international, after scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in all competitions last season.
He was voted as Fulham’s player of the season and was nominated for Premier League Goal of the Season after his trivela strike during the 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in December.
Leeds enjoyed a strong season under Farke, finishing 14th in the Premier League despite being widely tipped for relegation.
Fulham, meanwhile, finished five points above Leeds in 11th but announced the departure of manager Marco Silva at the start of the month after five years at the helm.
Silva’s departure came as a surprise to the club, with vice-chairman Tony Khan admitting that just three weeks ago they had expected the Portuguese – who subsequently replaced Jose Mourinho at Benfica – to stay.
Fulham are reported to be closing in on a deal to appoint ex-Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa as their new manager, though Fulham sources insist there are still two contenders in the running to take over at Craven Cottage.
