Leeds United have been urged to sign Harry Wilson in January after missing out on the Wales international in the summer window.

The next few weeks will have a significant bearing on Daniel Farke’s ability to keep Leeds in the Premier League this season.

Going towards January, United will want to stay well in the mix to survive relegation. At that point, new signings could be pursued.

Jermaine Beckford wants Leeds United to sign Harry Wilson from Fulham in January

The one that got away for Leeds in the summer window was a right-winger. Harry Wilson was the last-ditch deadline day attempt, only for the Cottagers to pull the plug right before the window shut.

It leaves Farke without much depth out on the right. Should January be the point where the 49ers rectify that issue, Wilson may well be someone to reconsider.

His contract remains due to expire in the summer of 2026, meaning a cut-price deal might be on the cards. Leeds icon Jermaine Beckford believes he’s someone the club absolutely should be looking at ahead of the new year.

“I like him, I like him a lot,” Beckford told the YEP. “I think he’s a fantastic football player. It would suit us down to the ground.

“He’s very intelligent. He’s very intelligent on and off the ball. His positional sense is great. His distribution is fantastic, and his awareness, it would suit us down to the ground. And that’s the reason why we were in for him.

“I would like to see him in a Leeds United shirt. But, at the same time, if it’s not, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be. I would like to see Haaland wearing a Leeds shirt again. But we can’t afford two hundred and fifty million quid right now.”

Leeds United need a right-winger in January and Harry Wilson could be worth considering again

Leeds’ attack is starting to gel with Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin settling in, but there’s a clear weak point on the right.

Dan James and Willy Gnonto getting back to fitness might help, but someone more natural that can cut inside (like Wilson), would be beneficial.

Should Leeds stay in with a good chance of survival by January, we need to be taking advantage and strengthening with a new signing or two.
