Jesse Marsch has transformed Leeds United winger Jack Harrison
Jesse Marsch has made quite an impact at Leeds United since taking over from the legend, Marcelo Bielsa.
Not only the Whites are breathing safely after drastic improvement in results, but there have also been notable changes in how the players are responding to his methods.
This is crucial as it could shape transfer plans for the Whites in the summer. One of the players who has shown real class recently is Jack Harrison.
The 25-year-old has struggled for form and consistency throughout the campaign. At times, he has looked unplayable, but most of the time, he has cut a grim figure.
Marsch has tapped into his potential and now we’re witnessing the genuine quality of the player who joined from Manchester City.
He was superb in the 3-2 win against Wolves. He was brilliant in the 1-1 draw against Southampton, and he was outstanding in the 3-0 win against Watford.
His performance against Watford was praised by David James, who hailed his strike as “phenomenal”.
The last three games are an indication that we’re seeing a new version of the player under Marsch. With nine goals to his name, he is not just a hardworking player anymore (that is already there), but he is now a match-winner.
He can be relied upon. He has become someone who is ready to take responsibility. Marsch has completely transformed him.
And there lies the big dilemma, something Victor Orta needs to solve.
Earlier this month, The Telegraph reported that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the jet-heeled winger in the summer.
Fabio Paratici has been alerted to Harrison by Andrea Pirlo who was a team-mate of the Whites winger at New York City.
With Harrison’s growing importance to the side, his price is also rising high. The Whites can now sell him at a very good price if Spurs indeed make an approach to sign him. Or should they keep him?
Harrison has got bundles of energy and he puts in a lot of defensive shifts. He is a utility player for the club, and his recent performances could bring a new challenge for the Whites in the summer.
