Ten months late is better than never, as far as Leeds United are concerned. Harry Wilson was the man they wanted on September 1 last year, the final day of last summer’s transfer window.The move collapsed at the 11th hour and Wilson is philosophical about it as he finally gets to peruse Elland Road on July 8, the day his arrival is announced. Everything happens for a reason in his eyes and, as it was, staying at Fulham led to the best season of his career.United wanted him before he went on to score 10 goals and assist another seven in the Premier League last term. Imagine how keen they were after seeing him put a variety of defences to the sword as his Fulham contract ticked towards its expiry last month.By waiting for those extra 10 months to pass, Leeds will hope they are securing an even more accomplished, confident asset. Their confidence is evident in the four-year contract they have given to the 29-year-old.Wilson is delighted with it and acknowledges many players ticking into their 30s are faced with shorter and shorter contracts, with their peak years, supposedly, behind them. The Wales international says he feels 21, not 29.“When you get to your late 20s, 30s, deals can tend to be a bit less, but I think I take good care of my body,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “I have been lucky with injuries. I’m in a good place.“Saying 29 sounds crazy, I don’t feel it. I feel 21, so I’d like to think that won’t be a factor, that I’m slowing down by the end of the deal. I’d like to be thinking I’m just getting stronger.”Harry Wilson signs on the dotted line at Elland Road (Leeds United)Playing time was a crucial factor in Wilson’s decision at 29, too. Last season, his 17 goal involvements dwarfed the tallies of seven, 10 and five he mustered in the previous three campaigns.When he’s asked for the secret of his recent success, he says it’s simple. There was no tactical sorcery from Marco Silva that unlocked him. It came down to starting games and staying on until the dying stages.
