Solid signering. Kan bidra med en sårt tiltrengt dødballfot og kreativitet. Har vel hatt sin beste sesong i PL nå nettopp, satser på at han peaker nå.

Velkommen Harry!

Klassesignering for en klubb som oss, og nok en gang en potensielt genial free transfer.

Første intervjuet.

Endelig! Noen som husker første året han ble linket til Leeds? Må begynne å bli mange år siden. Og siden har han vært linket hvert eneste år.

De to brukte vel "briller" på den tiden.

...det sagt (om playoff-semien), men:
Harry Wilson on his visit to ER with Derby -

"To this day that's the best atmosphere I've ever played in. When they scored the first goal I struggled to hear myself think"

Wilson is a left-footed attacker, who liked to drift in from the right flank at Fulham, either creating or scoring goals as he came into central positions. He noted the 3-4-2-1 formation Leeds finished last season in and the success he had playing as one of the two behind the striker in that set-up, both with Wales and Fulham.



Om Farke:
"Speaking with the manager here, he's told me I'm a player he's watched for years and tried to get me at a couple of clubs in the past and obviously last summer as well. To have a manager, when he isn't your manager, who watches you from the outside, that's important.

"I hope when I start to work with him on a day-to-day basis, I can show him what he's seen from afar is true and hopefully we can do good things together."

Spilletid!
(Først forrige sesong fikk han plenty med det!)
Playing time was a crucial factor in Wilson's decision at 29, too. Last season, his 17 goal involvements dwarfed the tallies of seven, 10 and five he mustered in the previous three campaigns.

When he's asked for the secret of his recent success, he says it's simple. There was no tactical sorcery from Marco Silva that unlocked him. It came down to starting games and staying on until the dying stages.

He says a lot of his goals and assists came in the latter stages of matches. When he spoke to Sky Sports in the winter about his future, he said: "Wherever I am, it's got to be somewhere where I'm going to play."

Dette er jo en spiller vi vet har vært vår i et par uker allerede , men vi har vært utålmodige med klubben vår hvorfor annonseringen av Wilson har drøyd . Hadde håpet at vi fikk Wilson før sesongen 25/ 26 men slik gikk det ikke . Men nå er han hos oss ! Ryktes at Ampadu har vært innvolvert i overgangen til Wilson siden Wilson spiller på Wales med 4 Leeds spillere på laget. Nå håper jeg bare at Leeds United lykkes med flere kjøp. Darlow ryktes til Man U, Perri til Italia , og da er det vel ikke så mange keepere igjen på A laget !? En spiss, midtstopper , og keeper inn , ja takk . MOT.

Harry Wilson fikk en omgang og kvaliteten hans skinner jo gjennom fra første treningskamp.

Men for Wilson var dette første tette møte med fansen.
Wilson has had some time to get used to his new surroundings and team-mates, though he counts several of them as pals and colleagues from the Wales national team. What is completely new to him is the Leeds fanbase. They were there in numbers to show support in Tampa, even before Wilson and the squad arrived at the Raymond James Stadium.

"It's crazy," he said. "I think even before we left the hotel the lobby was full, and the send-off we got from the hotel was a real eye-opener for me. To turn up here today and see them here supporting and singing. I'm sure that's going to be a sign of things to come."
