# Leeds: Jack Harrison’s future ‘one to watch’ on deadline day

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) forward [Jack Harrison](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jack-harrison/)‘s future is still ‘one to watch’ at Elland Road on deadline day, according to an update from journalist Ben Jacobs.**

### The Lowdown: Harrison’s future up in the air

The Englishman has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/aston-villa-nswe-could-make-jack-harrison-move/) with a move away from the Whites numerous times in recent days and weeks, having struggled to find his best form this season after being the subject of two [bids](https://theathletic.com/3527427/2022/08/22/jack-harrison-newcastle-transfer-leeds/) from Newcastle during the summer.

Harrison did score a superb strike in the FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley last weekend but he has only found the net [once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317896/Show/Jack-Harrison) in 17 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) appearances.

The 26-year-old is still at Leeds currently but there is time for that to change in January.

### The Latest: Leicester move not ruled out

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88110855-leeds-now-want-to-strengthen-key-position-at-elland-road), Jacobs said that Leicester’s pursuit of Harrison is ‘one to watch’, which could lead to Leeds bringing in an attacker:

> “We know that Leeds potentially want to strengthen in the attacking area, but actually they need to first defend advances from Leicester for Jack Harrison. That is the one to watch.
>
> “Leicester are keen but Leeds have made it clear that the player is not for sale and it’s not unthinkable that if that position changes, and it’s a big if, Leeds will then look in the market for an attack-minded player.”

### The Verdict: Need to keep him

While Harrison hasn’t been at his absolute best this season and could bank the Whites their [fourth largest sale in club history](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/rekordabgaenge/verein/399) going by his [£35m price tag](https://www.leedsallover.com/2-things-to-weigh-up-as-leeds-united-slap-35million-price-tag-on-first-team-ace/), he is still someone with undoubted quality, having [scored 30 goals and bagged 29 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/alletore/spieler/417346) for Leeds.

\[freshpress-quiz id=“418869″\]

With Jesse Marsch’s side finding themselves in another possible relegation battle, they need as many attacking options as possible, with Harrison a match-winner on his day.

The [£50,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/leeds-united-fc/jack-harrison-24966/) Leeds man could end up leaving in the summer, which would make more sense, but he has been [called](https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/08/blogs/premier-league/leeds-united/leeds-united-news-lufc-results-fixtures-jack-harrison/) ‘fantastic’ by YouTuber Conor McGilligan and still has plenty to offer this season.
