Harrison is proving that he has bonafide Premier League quality.Here’s what Hay had to say on the transfer:“Leeds have got the option to take Jack Harrison from Manchester City, and my understanding of that is that it will happen; it’s as good as done, and it will be an £11m deal.”“I feel, having watched Harrison this season, I still think that’s a really good deal; I think that’s worth doing and good value at that price.”

Harrison is a key player for the Peacocks, he’s scored six times in the Premier League this season and has also contributed four assists from 25 top-flight outings.The former England Under-21s star is really impressing in what is his first taste of Premier League football, at 24, Harrison also has the potential to improve even further whilst at Leeds.
