Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that he has noticed a progression in wingers Daniel James and Jack Harrison.

Bielsa made the remarks about James and Harrison after the match against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

Former Manchester City winger Harrison provided the assist for ex-Manchester United winger James’s goal.

Leeds lost the Premier League game 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What Marcelo Bielsa said

Bielsa told Leeds Live about James and Harrison: “I notice a progression in both players.

“I think that in the measure that the competition advances, even though we’ve played 12 games, I hope they manage to find a regularity that corresponds with their qualities.”

Encouraging for James and Harrison

James has not been at his best for Leeds since moving from Manchester United in the summer of 2021.

However, the 24-year-old Wales international played well against Spurs.

The winger scored a goal and could have added two more to his tally.

The Leeds no. 20 took seven shots, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 65%, took 40 touches, attempted one dribble, made one interception, and put in seven crosses.

Harrison has been at Leeds for a while now and is a senior figure in the team.

The 25-year-old winger has given one assist in 10 Premier League matches so far this campaign.

Both players will be very important for Leeds in their quest to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Praise for Joe Gelhardt

Meanwhile, there was praise for Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt at the weekend.

Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports Premier League (4:15pm, November 21, 2021): “He is like a human wrecking ball. When you see him on the pitch. I like him, he is really exciting. I really like him. He is fast, he gets on the ball, he takes people on, once he gets into the box, he loves it.”
