A lot of Leeds United fans have replied to a post from EllandRoadHQ, which has relayed news from Football Insider concerning Harry Wilson.
Football Insider claims that Leeds can sign the Liverpool winger for a knock-down fee this summer and that Marcelo Bielsa is a ‘big admirer’ of the man on loan at Bournemouth.
The piece also states that the Whites had wanted him in both of the summers of 2018 and 2019 before he joined Derby County and Bournemouth respectively.
This report has gone down well with these Leeds fans, who would love to see Wilson at Elland Road next year.
Thought the lad were quality at Derby ?up for me believe in Bielsa MOT.

Yeah it will take a while for me to forget his antics at ER in the playoffs last year. Just wanted to smack him! But he’s undoubtedly talented and we now know all too well how Bielsa gets the best out of players. For what it’s worth, it would be yes from me. MOT

IF Bielsa rates him and IF Bielsa wants him, them i want him.
It’s really that simple and respectfully, thats the only criteria anyone shoukd refer to.#BielsaIsGod

Wilson has made 23 appearances for the Cherries in the league this season and scored seven goals for the team that are currently 18th in the table.
Would you be happy if Leeds signed Wilson?
Yes, he could do a job
No, would want someone else
However, according to WhoScored, his average rating in the league for Eddie Howe’s men is only 6.64/10, but that seems a bit harsh considering his goal tally this season.
In any case, it is clear to see why these Leeds fans want to sign Wilson so badly.
One fan even believes that Wilson could be Pablo Hernandez’s long-term replacement.
Would love to see the King of Corwen at ER ???????Superb signing that would be for us – natural heir to Pablo

The Welsh international spent the 2018/19 season on loan with Derby County and proved to be a revelation for the Rams, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists in the Championship.
He also scored in the second leg of the play-off semi-final against the Whites at Elland Road, though it seems that there are some Whites fans don’t want to sign Wilson.
One supporter even believes that Wilson is just a worse version of Jack Harrison, while another stated that they wanted to keep Harrison instead.
Poor mans Jack Harrison

No matter what league the Whites find themselves in next season, Wilson would probably be a good signing as he has proved in both divisions that he can score goals.
That he is reportedly available for a knock-down fee arguably makes this deal even better, and if he becomes available, the Whites should be at the front of the queue trying to sign him.
If the report in Football Insider is to be believed, then Wilson is also liked by Bielsa, and that could be enough to convince the doubters about his ability as a player.
