By Deadline Day, matters took an unexpected turn. Fulham shifted their stance and pushed to renegotiate terms, which forced Leeds to return with an improved offer. Determined not to miss out, Leeds complied, and both parties reached what appeared to be an agreement. According to Jacobs, both Leeds United and Wilson himself signed the necessary paperwork, leaving the Whites confident that they had landed their man.
The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Fulham after struggling for regular playing time at the Emirates Stadium, and it's not too surprising to see that his future is still in some doubt. It had looked like Fulham might sign Nelson permanently, but they have supposedly been unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal. As such, Palace are now said to have entered the running to sign Nelson for around 15m, according to the Sun.
Napoli are set to push hard to complete the signing of Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United as soon as possible, according to Corriere dello Sport. Romelu Lukaku, a former Manchester United man himself, has suffered a relatively serious muscle injury and will undergo surgery, which will rule him out of action for at least three months and reduce the strength of Napoli's attacking line significantly, unless a new man comes in to fill the void.
"We all have to be aware that this is a very complex operation," Fajardo told Estadio Deportivo. "Given the player's level and his recent career at Real Betis, it's not an easy transaction."
