# Leeds: Jack Harrison deal could already be done

**Former Scotland and Premier League manager Alex McLeish has talked up the idea of Jack Harrison joining Leeds United on a permanent deal this summer, claiming a deal may even be done already behind the scenes.**

### The Lowdown: Key figure for Leeds

The 24-year-old is coming to the end of a three-year loan spell at Elland Road, with newly-crowned Premier League champions Manchester City still his official employers.

Harrison has shone at times for Leeds, scoring [18 goals in 127 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/alletore/spieler/417346) and playing his part in a glorious period under Marcelo Bielsa.

With the forward’s loan spell coming to an end, the Whites now need to make a decision over his future, with an option to sign him for £10million this summer expected to be taken, [via Phil Hay](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/03/06/its-as-good-as-done-phil-hay-shares-cost-of-leeds-signing-jack-harrison-with-permanent-transfer-essentially-sorted/).

### The Latest: Harrison tipped to sign permanently

Speaking to [*Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-set-to-sign-harrison-for-half-price-after-big-transfer-update-ex-manager/), McLeish believes it makes complete sense to do just that, with Harrison worth double that amount now:

> “There’ll probably be a deadline on that clause.
>
> “With the season that he’s had, Man City will be possibly thinking when does it expire? Because he’s now looking like a £20million player. In the current climate, £10million is something Leeds could easily do business-wise.
>
> “Therefore, they’ll probably just be waiting for some kind of deadline and then doing it immediately before that. For all we know, talks are really amicable and it’s kind of almost a done deal.
>
> “Three loan years and he’s grown every step of the way with Leeds’ progress. He’s like an integral part of the family now.”

### The Verdict: No-brainer for Leeds

Harrison has become such a key player that it is surely a no-brainer to retain his services, in a decision that would suit Leeds, City and the player himself.

He is the Whites’ [joint-second](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) top scorer in the league this season with [eight goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317896/Show/Jack-Harrison), but he has also chipped in with the same number of assists, highlighting his important to a team who need proven end product to make their rip-roaring attacking style effective.

For Leeds to snap up Harrison for just £10million would be a steal, especially as his prime could still be a few years away.
