# Leeds pundit hails Harrison development after permanent deal

**Joe Wainman of All Leeds TV believes that Jack Harrison has grown into a top player during his time at Elland Road.**

The club confirmed earlier this summer that they had struck a deal to bring him into the club from Manchester City on a permanent basis. Leeds have paid around [£11m](https://throughitalltogether.sbnation.com/2021/7/2/22522352/leeds-united-announce-permanent-signing-of-jack-harrison-on-three-year-deal-for-around-11m) for his signature.

Harrison had actually spent the last three seasons on loan at Elland Road but the deal has now been confirmed to keep him at the club on a full-time basis.

Harrison’s output has increased throughout his time at Leeds, as he scored four goals and registered three assists in [2018/19](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/417346) in the Championship and scored six goals and laid on eight assists in [2019/20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/417346). In [2020/21](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/417346), his first season in the Premier League, he scored eight and assisted eight more.

Wainman insists that Harrison was not at such a high level when he first moved to Leeds, and has improved season upon season at the club.

He said: *“I go back to Jack Harrison as a great comparison. When he initially came in, in the Championship, genuinely he was half the player he is now and some Leeds fans just didn’t get it.*

*“Now look at Jack Harrison, we’ve signed him on a permanent basis and he’s perfect for what we do.”*
