Leeds United winger Jack Harrison has impressed since being brought back to Elland Road.

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that Jack Harrison has improved a great deal this season.

Harrison spent last season on loan at Leeds, but he wasn’t always their most effective attacker.

There was some who voiced concern when Leeds brought Harrison back on loan from Manchester City, but he has already proven Bielsa’s faith in him to be correct.

The England youth international has caught the eye so far this term, with his performances already looking far more threatening than they did last term.

And after Leeds’ latest victory over Wigan Athletic, Bielsa was full of praise for the youngster.

“He has evolved and improved a lot. We did not see the same number of skills he shows now,” Bielsa said of the winger, who worked with a personal trainer over the summer to improve his fitness levels.

Patrick Bamford scored both of Leeds’ goals against Wigan, with Bielsa’s side continuing to impress.

The Whites now have seven points from their first three games and are living up to their billing as promotion favourites, as they sit at the top of the league currently.
