Tottenham remain interested in Leeds United winger Jack Harrison following an enquiry in the January window, according to The Telegraph.
The Lowdown: Phillips and Raphinha links
It could well be a summer of change at Elland Road after Jesse Marsch recently replaced Marcelo Bielsa.
Should Leeds sell Harrison?
Yes, not good enough!
No, keep him!
Raphinha has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, whereas Kalvin Phillips is wanted by Aston Villa, who are willing to pay £60m for his services over the coming months.
Harrison, who eventually made his move to Leeds permanent last summer after three years on loan from Manchester City, appears to be yet another sought-after Whites star.
The Latest: Harrison interest
The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath shared a story on Friday morning, looking at Marsch’s first month in charge of Leeds. He added that Tottenham still have an interest in signing Harrison after making an enquiry for the winger earlier this year.
The 25-year-old is seen as a player who can turn out as a left-wing back under Antonio Conte, with Spurs chief Fabio Paratici alerted to Harrison by Andrea Pirlo, who played with the Leeds man at New York City.
The Verdict: Keep?
Former Leeds player turned employee/ambassador Noel Whelan was stunned by Harrison’s match-winning display against West Ham back in January, where he scored a hat-trick, saying ‘it was amazing to see, wow’.
He has improved massively since first arriving at Leeds in 2018 and has now made over 150 appearances for the Whites. You’d like to think he is approaching his prime, so it would be a shame for Leeds to sell the winger in the summer, especially with Raphinha possibly on the move as well.
Marsch could do with bolstering his squad ahead of his first full season in charge instead of making it smaller, so it could make sense to snub enquiries from Spurs once again over the coming months.
