# Newcastle: Magpies ‘really like’ Jack Harrison

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) remain interested in making a move for Leeds United winger Jack Harrison in the near future, according to [CBS Sports](https://twitter.com/JacobsBen) journalist Ben Jacobs.**

### The Lowdown: Newcastle eyeing up Harrison

The Magpies acquired newfound wealth after their [big-money takeover](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjIlcHL-cD6AhUKXcAKHeWIAp8QFnoECCEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailystar.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Fnewcastle-takeover-bin-salman-worth-25162838&usg=AOvVaw0AgZZqKu6wXfIrknAg16dq) just under a year ago, allowing more funds to be available for new signings moving forward.

Harrison is a player who has been [linked](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leeds-united-ready-to-accept-35m-jack-harrison-bid-from-newcastle-united/) with a move to Newcastle throughout the summer transfer window and beyond, with the Englishman ultimately remaining at Leeds beyond deadline day.

It’s a rumour which is refusing to go away, though, which suggests that the Magpies’ interest is genuine.

### The Latest: Jacobs shares Harrison claim

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88065826-newcastle-really-like-35m-premier-league-star-at-st-james-park), Jacobs claimed that Newcastle “really like” the idea of acquiring Harrison’s signature.

He stated:

> “Another player Newcastle have in mind for that sort of creative position is Jack Harrison and he’s another one they really like. Let’s see what happens there.
>
> “Leeds have always been very determined that they won’t sell because they got the money for Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.”

### The Verdict: Great squad option

Harrison has been an excellent player for Leeds during a great period in their recent history, providing pace and energy out wide and helping himself to [17 goals and 12 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/417346/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/399) in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

At 25, he is at a prime age in terms of his peak being ahead of him while also having a decent volume of [top-level experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-harrison/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/417346), and he would provide Eddie Howe with another strong wide option, giving the 44-year-old the squad depth that he craves.

YouTuber David Brown has [described](https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/04/blogs/premier-league/leeds-united/leeds-united-news-david-brown-jack-harrison-goalscoring-record-lufc-fixtures-jesse-marsch/) Harrison as a ‘joke’, given his quality, and if a move to Newcastle appeals to him in January or next summer, it makes perfect sense for PIF to try and get it done.
