Leicester City are reportedly pushing hard to sign Leeds United winger Jack Harrison, with the Whites set to make a decision on letting the attacker go later today.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Foxes are eager to sign Harrison on deadline day as Brendan Rodgers looks to bring in a wide-attacker to aid Leicester’s relegation battle, with the former New York City FC superstar an option for the King Power Stadium side.
The Daily Mail have previously reported that Leeds value Harrison at £35m, yet given how little time there is left in the January transfer window, Jesse Marsch’s side could easily increase this valuation, especially with a Premier League rival in Leicester interested in the forward.
Whilst Harrison is yet to hit the numbers the winger has hit in the Premier League in previous seasons, the forward has still been a regular starter for Leeds, and for Leicester, their chance to sign the attacker might have come far too late in the window.
Leicester will have to spend big to sign Harrison on deadline day
Harrison has been instrumental for Leeds in their latest Premier League era, and with the Yorkshire side in no rush to sell this deadline day, Leicester will have to come in with a huge offer if they’re to land the former Manchester United academy star.
Indeed, Harrison is a fan favourite and clearly in Marsch’s good books based on his run of starts for Leeds, and if Leicester are to convince Leeds to allow one of the star attackers to leave, Rodgers will have to come up with a big offer in the coming hours to tempt their English rivals.
