Leeds United should offload Jack Harrison to Tottenham if right offer comes
Leeds United winger Jack Harrison could be a player in demand in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign the 25-year-old winger in the summer.
Spurs made an enquiry about him in January but Leeds rejected their advances.
However, Spurs are keen to get him on board. Fabio Paratici is being advised by Andrea Pirlo, who knows Harrison from their time at New York City, to get the player on board.
Harrison has a contract at the club till 2024 and the Whites are likely to demand a high transfer fee for him. Leeds signed him on loan initially from Manchester City where he made a big impact in the Championship and helped the club achieve promotion under Marcelo Bielsa.
The move was later made permanent. He has scored seven goals in all competitions this season, and he is a proper team player.
Having said that, the Whites should consider selling him if there’s a good offer on the table.
While his industry and work ethics are admirable, he doesn’t give the impression of a player who can improve and take his game to the next level.
Jesse Marsch feels he is an “explosive” (Leeds Live, 10 March) player who is dangerous in one v one situations, but there are other aspects of his game that needs serious consideration.
He’s an intelligent player but lacks confidence like Raphinha to translate his ability on the pitch. His decision making also needs to improve.
If Leeds are to aim for a top-six finish in the league, they should buy quality players. Harrison doesn’t belong to that top-level quality.
In fact, Spurs boss Antonio Conte wants to use him as a wing back. If the right offer comes for him, Marsch shouldn’t hesitate in selling him.
