"Leeds United's lack of attacking additions late in the summer window continues to loom over Elland Road and club hero Jermaine Beckford has made his preference clear for January. The former Whites striker believes Harry Wilson is exactly the profile Daniel Farke needs and has urged Leeds to go back in for the Fulham winger after a deadline-day move collapsed."
"Beckford said: I like him, I like him a lot. I think he's a fantastic football player. He's very intelligent. He's very intelligent on and off the ball. Positional sense is great. Distribution is fantastic, his awareness, it would suit us down to the ground. That's why we were in for him. I'd like to see him in a Leeds shirt. His set-piece delivery would add a reliable route to goal for a Leeds side increasingly leaning on size."
"With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and others needing service, a creative winger who can both score and assist is high-leverage business. Leeds' hierarchy have repeatedly referenced PSR limits and the need to sell to buy, meaning any deal would likely be structured as a loan with an obligation/option or part-funded by outgoing moves. And Fulham, who resisted late-window bids, will not be eager sellers mid-season unless they can reinvest or cover their own gaps."
Leeds United finished the summer window without the attacking reinforcements many felt were needed, leaving questions over goal threat and creativity. Jermaine Beckford believes Harry Wilson fits Daniel Farke's requirements, praising Wilson's intelligence, positional sense, distribution, awareness, versatility and set-piece delivery. Internal briefings indicate a January move could be possible if the club creates budget room. Leeds' hierarchy have cited PSR limits and the need to sell to buy, suggesting any move might be a loan with an obligation/option or part-funded by outgoing transfers. Fulham are unlikely to sell mid-season unless they can reinvest or cover gaps.
