Leeds United to sanction Jack Harrison exit after Daniel Farke decision
Jack Harrison’s summer return to Leeds United was met with mixed reactions.
Leeds United’s attacking options have been the biggest concern so far this season, though recent results have subdued some of them.
One of those who has featured quite consistently is Harrison, whose return to Leeds was met with boos at the start of the campaign.
However, despite his reintegration into the Whites squad, the 28-year-old could be on the move again in January, this time for good.
Jack Harrison exit could be on the cards
Despite Dan James being sidelined with injury, alongside Willy Gnonto, Daniel Farke has decided to deploy Brenden Aaronson on the wing.
That is despite the fact that Harrison is a natural winger who has played the last few seasons in wide areas in the Premier League.
Instead, Farke has opted to utilise the Englishman as an impact sub, though the level of impact he has made can certainly be questioned.
With that in mind, Ian Darke believes that Leeds would not stand in the way of the exit door should a suitable offer be made for Harrison going forward.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Darke said: “Leeds use Harrison in most games off the bench.
“I know he has a chorus of boo boys who still can’t forgive him for one or two things in the past, but it’s possible with a player like that who’s been around the Premier League that they could get an offer from somewhere else.
“Obviously, for the right price, I think they’d let him go because he’s not going to be a starter, he’s always going to be off the bench, but he’s proving to be quite a useful guy to have around.”
Daniel Farke must know that Jack Harrison isn’t Premier League quality
Harrison is a grafter, and that is often an integral component of a team when they are looking to survive in the Premier League.
However, quality is needed in the top flight, and Harrison possesses very little of that in an attacking sense, as showcased by his time in England.
Harrison’s record since 2021
- 2025-26 season – Seven games, zero goals, zero assists
- 2024-25 season – 38 games, one goal, zero assists
- 2023-24 season – 35 games, four goals, three assists
- 2022-23 season – 42 games, six goals, 10 assists
- 2021-22 season – 38 games, 10 goals, two assists
If Leeds sell, they may not get a particularly hefty fee for him, but clearing his wages off the books will go a long way towards their ability to spend where required in the summer.
