# Leeds: Journalist provides key Jack Harrison update

**Leeds United winger Jack Harrison is expected to join the Whites on a permanent deal next week, according to journalist Graham Smyth.**

### The Lowdown: Harrison shines on loan

The 24-year-old has been an excellent player for Leeds, shining under Marcelo Bielsa and scoring [18 goals in 128 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/alletore/spieler/417346).

Harrison has just completed his third season on loan at Elland Road from Manchester City, but it now looks as though the move will be made permanent, as expected.

### The Latest: Smyth provides key update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GrahamSmyth/status/1410328909917339653?s=20) on Wednesday evening, the [*Yorkshire Evening Post*](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/)‘s Smyth confirmed that the deal to bring in Harrison permanently is ‘expected to be completed next week’.

The winger won’t return for pre-season testing on Thursday, however, because he is still quarantining.

### The Verdict: Significant boost for Leeds

This is a massive boost for Leeds, with Harrison such a prominent figure during a wonderful period in the club’s history.

The Englishman is such a force on and off the ball, ending up the Whites’ [joint second-top scorer](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) in the Premier League last season, scoring their first goal back in the top-flight, away to Liverpool.

He also averaged [1.8 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317896/Show/Jack-Harrison) per game, however, highlighting his tenacity to win the ball back and thrive in Bielsa’s relentless style of play.
