Middlesbrough will surely look at Leeds United, Man City transfer agreement with bewilderment: View
Boro fans may be bewildered by the player Harrison has become
Former Manchester City winger Jack Harrison spent five seasons at Leeds United, initially having two loan spells at the club from 2018-20 and subsequently from 2020-21, before signing for the Whites permanently in the summer of 2021.
The ace is still on the Yorkshire outfit’s books, but is currently plying his trade at Premier League side Everton on a loan spell which expires at the end of the current campaign, but the good news for the Elland Road faithful is that there is no option for the Toffees to buy Harrison included in the deal.
So, if Daniel Farke takes the club back to the top-flight, fans of the Whites will be able to see one of their best players of the last few years back in action for the club who he achieved promotion with under Leeds cult hero Marcelo Bielsa, back in 2020.
Harrison played a key role in the Whites’ 2019-20 Championship title winning campaign, appearing in all 46 matches with 45 starts to his name, as the ace produced six goals and eight assists, securing a reputation as one of the second-tier’s most feared attacking players.
Then, in the 2020-21 season, the wideman arguably exceeded expectations by making an even better return of eight goals and eight assists as the Whites managed a remarkable ninth-placed Premier League finish in their first top-flight campaign since the 2003-04 season.
