# Exclusive: Pundit claims Harrison will want to sign for Leeds permanently

In an exclusive interview with **[The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/)**, Steve Howey, who made [100 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steve-howey/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3138) for Manchester City, has claimed that on-loan winger Jack Harrison will want to sign for Leeds permanently.

Harrison is currently on his [third successive loan spell](https://fbref.com/en/players/aa849a12/Jack-Harrison) with Leeds and after helping them win the Championship title last year, he has been handed his first chance in the Premier League despite signing with Man City in 2018.

The [£15,000 per week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/leeds-united-fc/payroll/) winger has made [124 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/417346) under Marcelo Bielsa and it has been [reported](https://theathletic.com/podcast/142-the-phil-hay-show/?episode=69) that Leeds will eventually make his move a permanent one this summer.

Speaking on how much he has been impressed by Harrison this season and if the player will want to stay at Leeds, Howey told **The Transfer Tavern**:

*“He has impressed me because he’s proved himself and he wasn’t going to get an opportunity at City, but he’s been given a chance at Leeds and fair play to him because he’s done brilliantly.*

*“He’ll be delighted to sign permanently because he’s been there a couple of seasons and now he’s had that first taste of the Premier League he’ll want more, and not only that but playing week in week out helps massively.”*

Leeds have impressed going forward this season with their regular front three of Harrison, Raphinha and Patrick Bamford combining to score almost [30 goals.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/leistungsdaten/verein/399)

Before his first loan move to Leeds, Harrison had a spell at Middlesbrough in the Championship but he failed to impress while on Teeside as he managed just [four appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/417346).
