Transfer expert Dean Jones says that Leeds United are 'confident' that Jack Harrison will sign a new contract 'soon'.

The Lowdown: Ongoing situation

TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey revealed last week that Harrison's contract at Elland Road is an 'ongoing situation', as he has 'strong interest' from a number of clubs.

The Whites rejected 'big money' from Newcastle United for the winger in the summer, and a new deal is 'firmly' on Victor Orta's agenda.

The Latest: Leeds 'confident'

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jones has shared that 'sources close' to the situation are saying that Jesse Marsch's side are 'confident' that Harrison will sign a new contract at the club 'soon':

“I’ve checked this out and sources close to it are saying that Leeds are confident that he will sign that new contract soon.”

The Verdict: Exciting

The fact that Harrison is seemingly close to signing a new deal will come as exciting news for Peacocks supporters, especially given that he has been linked with a move away.

The winger has been one of Leeds' standout performers in the Premier League so far this season, scoring one goal and making three assists in 13 appearances, earning himself two man-of-the-match awards, per WhoScored.

At 26 years of age, he still has a lot to offer, and the Whites will no doubt need him performing to his best if they are going to survive in the top flight again this term.
