Fulham tried to convince Wilson to stay and said they offered him a new contract in a statement earlier this month.
However, he has decided to join Marco Silva in leaving Craven Cottage after a career-best season in the Premier League.
Wilson scored 10 goals and set up seven more in the competition, which attracted interest from clubs in the Champions League.
It is Leeds, however, who have won the race for his signature - nearly a year on from Wilson's Deadline Day move to Elland Road collapsing at the last minute.
Sky Sports News understands both Wilson and Leeds signed a deal sheet in the hope of finalising a move only for Fulham not to sign the paperwork, scuppering the move.
As well as Wilson, Leeds have been exploring a move for Julian Brandt, who is set to leave Borussia Dortmund as a free agent at the end of the month.
Leeds are also in talks with Southampton for midfielder Shea Charles after their initial £20m offer was deemed too low by the Championship club.
Leeds' summer transfer plans
Leeds are facing a big summer window as they look to solidify their place in the Premier League. Daniel Farke wants to add more individual quality to a squad that has made a reputation for itself as being one of the toughest teams to come up against.
Addressing the goalkeeper situation is a top priority. Talks continue with Karl Darlow, whose contract expires on July 1, but if he moves on, Leeds will potentially need to find a new No 1, with question marks about Lucas Perri after he was dropped.
Leeds bid for Jorgen Strand Larsen in January but refused to match the £48m Crystal Palace paid Wolves. They may look to sign a striker again in this window. Relying on Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha, who both have patchy injury records, would be a gamble.
Facundo Buonanotte is unlikely to return after his underwhelming six-month loan from Brighton, while Joel Piroe and winger Wilfried Gnonto are both facing uncertain futures. Piroe chose to stay at Leeds in the previous window despite widespread interest in the Championship as well as from Celtic, while Gnonto is wanted by Bundesliga club Freiburg.
Leeds are thin on the left side of defence, with Gabriel Gudmundsson and Pascal Struijk the only natural options. Farke coped thanks to the adaptability of James Justin and he might look to add another defender with the same versatility this summer.
