We asked for your views on Leeds United agreeing terms to sign out-of-contract Harry Wilson on a long-term deal from fellow Premier League club Fulham.

The 29-year-old came close to a move to Elland Road last summer but the Cottagers backed out of the deal late on.

Here are some of your comments:

Omar: It is a fantastic signing. I genuinely can't see any downside other than having to move on one of Willy Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson or Dan James, all of whom I think have a lot to offer despite there being no room for them in the starting XI. He brings proven quality and experience as we look to move towards becoming a mid-table force over the coming two or three years.

Clive: Wilson has been a valuable asset to Fulham over the years, so to get a player of his calibre through the door on a free is a fantastic piece of business. We now have more creativity and a left-footed free kick taker as well as a right-footer in Anton Stach. A great start to the transfer window.

Matthew: Get it done, before we are gazumped! I've never seen such a Leeds-like player who isn't at the club.

Eric: Wilson coming up to 30 years old and scoring less goals in 38 appearances than Dominic Calvert-Lewin did is questionable to me. If he is out of contract with Fulham and he hasn't re-signed, there has to be a good reason. My question would be: are we just opting for him because he comes with no transfer fee rather than him being actually what we need?

Richard: I think this would be a fantastic move for us. I can't believe our luck to be honest. We need to grab him with both hands. Another addition to our Welsh contingent, that can't be bad!

Howard: An excellent signing and what amazing value. Another Welshman joining our ranks. Fulham have lost their most influential player, but their loss is our gain.

Colin: Wilson on a free is the signing of the summer.
