LEEDS UNITED SET TO CUT TIES WITH JACK HARRISON AS MLS MOVE LOOMS
Leeds United’s tumultuous relationship with winger Jack Harrison appears to be nearing its end, with the 28-year-old reportedly eyeing a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States.
Harrison’s loan spell at Everton has failed to yield the desired results, with the winger struggling to make a significant impact on the team. Despite featuring regularly under both Sean Dyche and David Moyes, Harrison has managed only three goals and three assists from 52 league games.
The writing seems to be on the wall for Harrison’s Leeds United career, with the club unlikely to retain his services even if they secure promotion back to the Premier League. Harrison’s contract extension through to 2028, signed prior to Leeds’ relegation in 2023, now appears to be a mere formality.
According to reports, Harrison is interested in making a return to the United States, where he began his professional career with New York City FC. Exploratory conversations between club representatives in the US are believed to have commenced, although no official approaches or negotiations have taken place.
Financing could prove to be a hurdle for some American clubs, given Harrison’s experience in the English top-flight. However, some MLS teams boast significant financial backing, as evidenced by Atalanta United’s recent capture of Middlesbrough forward Emmanuel Latte Lath.
Harrison’s personal life may also be a factor in his decision to leave Leeds United. His partner divides time between living in the US and England, making a move to America a potentially attractive option.
Leeds United would do well to cut their losses and bring Harrison’s nightmare spell to an end. The winger’s inconsistent form and lack of commitment to the club make him a luxury they can ill afford.
As one fan succinctly put it, “Let him go, he has no interest in Leeds only himself, but we still need players!” It’s a sentiment that echoes the feelings of many Leeds United supporters, who have grown frustrated with Harrison’s antics over the years.
With Harrison’s departure looming, Leeds United must now focus on rebuilding their squad and securing promotion back to the Premier League. It’s a challenge that will require dedication, hard work, and a commitment to the club’s values – qualities that Harrison, unfortunately, has not consistently demonstrated during his time at Elland Road.
