Daniel Farke has already decided Jack Harrison’s future at Leeds United
The future at Elland Road is looking bleak for Jack Harrison.
Leeds’ 1-1 draw with Brentford last time out means that the Whites are now unbeaten in their last three Premier League encounters, showcasing the improvements made.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has started to find some form, while several others have stepped up their game to alleviate the pressure on Daniel Farke.
However, one player who has had very little influence on their sudden upturn in form is Harrison, whose future now looks destined to be away from Leeds.
Exit beckons for Harrison ahead of January
Harrison’s initial return from his loan at Everton was met with a chorus of boos from the Leeds supporters, but that feeling slowly subsided as Farke made it clear that he was here to stay.
The English winger featured regularly off the bench for the Whites, mainly due to his ability – or rather willingness – to play just about anywhere asked.
However, that has changed over the last few weeks, with Harrison barely getting a look-in, and for good reason.
The 29-year-old has played just nine minutes of Premier League football since the start of November, showcasing just how far away he is from Farke’s plans.
Given the fact that Leeds will want to spend in January, his sale would make sense, and it seems as though Farker will no longer stand in the way of his exit.
Stats show why Harrison’s time has come to an end at Leeds
Stats aren’t always the be-all and end-all when determining a player’s worth, but in this case, they give a good idea.
In 12 appearances this season, Harrison has yet to register a goal or an assist, with just two chances created.
Including last season, when he made 38 appearances for Everton, that number of contributions only goes up to one.
It’s clear that he is a winger, and certainly not a wing-back as often deployed, but he offers very little going forward to warrant any longer at Elland Road.
His exit would clear a big chunk of wages, and, depending on the fee, also give the Whites some money to reinvest where needed.
