# Leeds: Paul Robinson talks up permanent Jack Harrison move

**Former Leeds United hero Paul Robinson is desperate for the Whites to complete the permanent signing of Jack Harrison this summer.**

The 24-year-old in now in his third season on loan at Elland Road, having initially [joined](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45012687) from Manchester City back in the summer of 2018.

The winger has been an undoubted success story for Leeds, [scoring 16 goals in 120 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/alletore/spieler/417346), as well as registering 17 assists.

Harrison was a key part of Marcelo Bielsa’s team that made it back into the Premier League and [only Patrick Bamford (14)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leeds-united/top-scorers) has more than his tally of six goals in the division in 2020/21.

### Robinson urges Leeds to sign Harrison

Leeds have the option to sign Harrison permanently with Phil Hay reporting earlier this month an £11m deal is “[as good as done](https://www.footballfancast.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-phil-hay-jack-harrison-marcelo-bielsa-elland-road-premier-league-transfer-gossip-rumours-news)“, something Robinson thinks is a no brainer.

Speaking to [*MOT Leeds News*](https://motleedsnews.com/exclusives/great-signing-exclusive-pundit-hails-top-player-on-brink-of-permanent-move-to-leeds-united/), the ex-Whites goalkeeper hailed the Englishman’s quality and said it makes perfect sense to retain his services:

> “I think he’s a top player and he’s an absolute bargain at the price Leeds are going to pay for him. It’s been clever business by Leeds, kicking his option down the road for a year and keeping him on loan.
>
> “They’re now in a position where they’ve got more Premier League money and more money from investors.
>
> “It meant they could spend the money they spent last summer and sign Harrison this summer, and at £10m you’d be hard-pressed to find a better player than him.
>
> “I think it’s a great signing, a really great buy for Leeds. He’s had ups and downs this season but he’s a top-quality winger who would cost a lot more on the open market.”

### Transfer Tavern take

Harrison has shown over an extended period that he is more than suited to shine in this Leeds side, so they should seal a permanent move for him in the summer.

He clearly has no future at City, and at 24, he is at an age where he needs to settle at a club for a long period.
