Fulham in talks with Leeds over Harry Wilson deal after rejecting loan offer on Deadline Day

Fulham have rejected a loan offer from Leeds United for winger Harry Wilson.

The two clubs remain in talks, and Leeds are hopeful of securing a deal for the Welsh international before tonight's deadline.

Any deal looks likely to hinge on whether Fulham are able to finalise deals for Tyrique George, Samuel Chukwueze and Kevin.

Fulham have agreed a £22million deal for Chelsea winger George, who is set to undergo a medical ahead of signing a five-year deal.

The Whites also remain confident of securing a club-record £34.6m deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin, who has passed a medical, but is yet to agree terms.

However, they face late competition for his signature from Sporting CP, who have matched Fulham's offer, according to Sky Sports.

Chukwueze, meanwhile, is undergoing a medical ahead of a potential loan move from AC Milan with an option to buy at between £22m-£26m.

All three deals remain ongoing, with less than two hours until the window shuts.

Wilson, whose contract expires next summer, has yet to enter contract negotiations with Fulham.

The 27-year-old made 25 Premier League appearances for Fulham last season, scoring six goals and providing two assists.

He has struggled to nail down a regular starting berth under Marco Silva and could be persuaded by the first-team opportunities on offer at newly promoted Leeds.

Silva wants to bring in two new wingers before the transfer deadline, with academy graduate Martial Godo completing a £6m move to Strasbourg.

Fulham have endured a difficult summer, having so far only managed to bring in backup goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, but they are expected to be busy before the deadline, with deals for Kevin and Chukwueze close to completion.
