# Leeds: Newcastle still keen on Jack Harrison

**Newcastle United are still keen on [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) winger Jack Harrison heading into the January window.**

### The Lowdown: Summer bids

Harrison, labelled as ‘explosive’, ‘effective in 1-v-1s’ and ‘dangerous’ by [Jesse Marsch](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/jesse-marsch-press-conference-live-23332044), was wanted at St. James’ Park over the summer.

The Whites rejected [two bids](https://theathletic.com/3527427/2022/08/22/jack-harrison-newcastle-transfer-leeds/) for the winger from Newcastle, who have the [richest owners](https://sportsbrief.com/facts/top-listicles/12331-who-top-ten-richest-premier-league-owners-newcastle/#:~:text=1.,Fund%20%7C%20Newcastle%20United%20%7C%20%24600%20billion&text=In%202021%2C%20stakeholders%20of%20the,a%20giant%20sovereign%20wealth%20fund.) in the Premier League, with the second offer being worth more than £20m.

The 26-year-old will be entering the final 18 months of his Elland Road [deal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/profil/spieler/417346) in January, and it seems as if the Magpies are still interested in Harrison’s services.

### The Latest: Off-field update

[Football Insider reporter Wayne Veysey](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-harrison-bid-sources/) shared an update regarding Harrison on Thursday morning, revealing that Leeds have held preliminary discussions over a new contract.

The report claims however that Newcastle are still keen going into January and that the Whites are desperate not to lose the player on a cut-price deal.

Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani are ready to offer a ‘pay hike’ to ensure Harrison stays put.

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed

Leeds clearly want Harrison to remain at Elland Road and it’s good to see them taking action to get a new contract finalised as soon as possible.

He contributed to [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdaten/spieler/417346) Premier League goals in the first three games of the season but has struggled since, although he still seems to be a key player under Marsch.

Therefore, hopefully, talks can progress quickly and a deal can be signed, which may result in Newcastle looking elsewhere for wide additions.
