Jack Harrison has said that he is not opposed to returning to Manchester City from Leeds United once his loan spell at Elland Road has ended.
The 23-year-old is currently spending the season with the Whites from the Premier League champions – the second term he has now been with the Yorkshire outfit – and he has done well for Marcelo Bielsa’s team. In 40 appearances in all competitions this time out, he has managed a respectable five goals and seven assists.
As it stands, he is set to return to his employers at the end of the campaign, and he has said that although he would like to be with Leeds in the Premier League next term, he is open to going back to City.
Speaking about his situation, he told ESPN: “Me, myself, I want to do everything I can to help them [Leeds] get to the Premier League and hopefully I can still be with them next season. As a player, I always want to play at the highest level and push myself to the limit.
“I am not opposed to going back to Man City if that’s what’s required of me, if that’s what is wanted. I have to be ambitious as a player as well. If it’s playing with Man City or wherever, or with Leeds in the Premiership next season, I’m going to try and play my best wherever it is. We’ll just have to see what happens I think.”
Losing Harrison after two years would be a blow to Leeds, especially if they get promoted to the promised land. He has become an important member of Bielsa’s side, as the number of games he has played in shows, and a hole would be left if he were no longer available.
If they are to be competitive, in the top tier, they must give themselves the best possible chance, and losing a key element of the side will mean they are slightly less settled. Hopefully, Leeds can keep him at the club for the foreseeable future.
Will Harrison be at Leeds next season? Let us know in the comments!
