Leeds United have been consistently linked with Callum Wilson this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 33-year-old striker has left Newcastle after five years on Tyneside<\/a> and is available on a free transfer as a result.<\/p>\n Daniel Farke is keen to add Premier League experience to his squad, and Wilson fits the bill, as he has 239 matches in the division.<\/p>\n The Whites could bring the veteran to Elland Road<\/a> as they look to solve their striking issues ahead of a return to the top-flight. <\/p>\n Leeds were chasing Sean Longstaff<\/a>, and they have finally sealed his signature after tough negotiations with Eddie Howe\u2019s side. <\/p>\n The Peacocks took to Instagram (18 July) to announce the deal for the 27-year-old, saying: \u201cSean Longstaff becomes our fifth signing of the summer, after joining from Newcastle United.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wilson reacted by liking the post from his former teammate, with current Whites ace Karl Darlow doing the same. <\/p>\n Longstaff is Leeds\u2019 best addition yet<\/strong><\/p>\n Farke\u2019s side have been active this summer, bolstering their squad with European exports that should make them a more physical team.<\/p>\n The likes of Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Lukas Nmecha and Gabriel Gudmundsson have all joined the LS11 outfit<\/a>. <\/p>\n Longstaff will now join them, and he is the best addition yet, as he already has a significant amount of experience in the division. <\/p>\n The Englishman has featured 171 times in the top-flight of English football, notching 10 goals and nine assists from midfield. <\/p>\n He started just eight games in the league last season, despite playing 25 times, recording a total of 786 minutes for the Carabao Cup winners.<\/p>\n Farke already has the likes of Ao Tanaka<\/a>, Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev at his disposal in the engine room, but there are doubts over their ability to cut it at the highest level consistently, with rotation needed.<\/p>\n The Geordie could give the Whites a crucial boost in the battle to survive ahead of their relegation rivals, especially Sunderland and Burnley, who came up from the Championship with them. <\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wilson-stats-Leeds-United-820x1024.png\")
