Leeds United Plotting Raid For Sunderland Forward Amid Summer Exit Talk: Time To Sell Him?
Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor has popped up on Leeds Unitedās radar ahead of the summer window. The 25-year-old looks more and more likely to push for a move after losing his spot in RĆ©gis Le Brisā starting XI. Isidor played a big part in Sunderlandās promotion push, but his playing time has dropped off a cliff since Brian Brobbey took over as the main man up top at the Stadium of Light. He hasnāt started a Premier League match since early December and has only found the net once in his last 24 games, sparking rumours that heās on his way out of Wearside.
Speaking on Football Insiderās Transfer Insider podcast, Pete OāRourke mentioned that several clubs could come calling for Isidor, as long as Sunderland donāt get carried away with their asking price. He noted that Leeds are definitely looking to beef up their attack this summer, and while Isidor is on their shortlist, he isnāt necessarily their primary target.
Sunderland were holding out for about £25 million in January, a price tag that scared off a few teams, but that figure might come down this summer. In 30 Premier League games, Isidor has five goals, a 40% shot accuracy, and averages 5.08 touches in the box every 90 minutes.
Wilson Isidor's future at Sunderland is uncertain due to his reduced playing time and lack of starts since December.
Leeds United is among the clubs interested in Wilson Isidor, as several teams may come calling for him.
His decline in playing time is attributed to Brian Brobbey taking over as the main striker at Sunderland.
Sunderland may demand a high asking price for Wilson Isidor to deter interest from clubs like Leeds United.

āHeās under contract until 2028, and as long as Sunderland donāt ask for silly money, I think thereāll be a number of clubs who would be interested in Isidor.
āLeeds obviously will be looking to add to their attacking options in the summer as well, but yeah, Iām sure Isidor is on the list but not necessarily high up on it.ā

For Sunderland, letting Isidor go is a bit of a gamble. His pace and his habit of getting shots off early give Le Bris a different option off the bench, and thatās a specific trait that isnāt easy to find on the cheap. His 27.3% dribble success and 29.1% duel win rate show he still struggles with the physical side of the top flight, so his flaws are pretty easy to see.
Even so, Isidorās directness and movement still offer something to a young Premier League side trying to build a deeper squad. Sunderland are already planning to bring in more attackers this summer, with sporting director Florent Ghisolfi expected to shake up the front line.
Keeping Isidor while also signing a new striker might not make much financial sense. A deal around Ā£15 million, meeting somewhere in the middle of Sunderlandās hopes and Leedsā budget,Ā is likely a fair result for everyone and gives the Black Cats the cash to go after a more consistent starter for 2026-27.
