Leeds United<\/a> will not be signing Harry Wilson from Fulham after the Cottagers had a change of heart on sanctioning the move.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whites\u2019 boss, Daniel Farke, made a clear admission that there is a need for more attacking arrivals before the window closes, as he looks to keep the team afloat in the top flight.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leeds have scored only one goal in their comeback to the Premier League and that came against Everton in their first game from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A clear requirement for more creative players was expected to be explored and they showed interest in Fulham\u2019s Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cottagers rejected a loan bid for the Welsh attacker instantly, but Leeds did follow it up with a permanent bid<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marco Silva\u2019s side, though, refused to let the 28-year-old go without signing a replacement beforehand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The London club went in for Bayern Munich\u2019s Jonah Kusi-Asare and the proposed deal has been dubbed as \u2018almost done\u2019<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kusi-Asare could well still be in through the door at Craven Cottage due to a deal sheet.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, even though the Cottagers could get a deal done for the Bayern Munich star, Wilson\u2019s switch to Elland Road is not happening, according to journalist Graham Smyth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cottagers decided at the final moment that they did not want to let Wilson go and no deal will happen now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Farke will need to work with the players who Leeds were able to sign until the transfer window reopens in January.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the German will hope if he does need fresh faces then in the winter window then he will be backed.<\/p>\n
