Jack Harrison’s future at Leeds United may have been decided as his season-long loan deal with Everton is coming to an end.
The attacker has been a hot topic of conversation at Elland Road over the past couple of seasons with the Englishman immediately jumping ship as soon as the West Yorkshire outfit found themselves relegated to the Championship.
He’s spent the last couple of years on loan with Everton as a result of their relegation and now we’re getting closer to the end of the term, questions are starting to get asked about the attacker’s future.
While Daniel Farke’s team has been one of the most dominant powers in the second tier this season, they are aware that reinforcements will be required to stay in the top flight, with various positions likely to be strengthened.
Harrison may play for Leeds in the Premier League next season.
According to a fresh report from LeedsUnited.news (4 March), Harrison might return to Elland Road and even play a role in the club’s Premier League campaign next season.
Graeme Bailey provided an update on the former Manchester City player’s future, claiming that his top-flight experience might make him a “invaluable” member of Leeds’ side.
“Leeds at this moment believe he is more likely to return than not, he has not done badly but with the change of manager and hierarchy, it seems they will go in another direction,” he told reporters.
“Leeds are prepared for this and there will be no issues with seeing Harrison return in the Premier League, he is a Premier League player and his experience could be invaluable to Leeds next season.”
Farke cannot let Harrison join his first-team.
If there is one aspect of Leeds’ roster that has impressed the most this season, it is their attacking ability.
Players like Manor Solomon and Dan James have really come into their own, and to be honest, the Whites’ offense appears to be a level above their opponents.
While Harrison’s versatility and Premier League experience could be valuable next season, fans are unlikely to welcome him back, and based on his performance in the 2024/25 season thus far, he is unlikely to have much of an impact.
Sealing a permanent agreement for Solomon should be at the top of Farke’s priority list because, at the end of the day, without the Israel international in their ranks this season, they would be much worse off.
And, if they do manage to pry him away from Tottenham in the summer, they will have no incentive to keep Harrison, so his sale might bankroll the entrance of the former Shakhtar Donetsk player.
Only time will tell what the future holds, but for now, Farke must make a critical decision about his team’s destiny.
