Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has raved about Jack Harrison, as quoted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.

Bielsa has said that Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, has a very strong mentality.

The Leeds head coach made the comments about the 24-year-old winger in regard to his recent drop in form.

The Englishman, who can also operate an attacking midfielder, has been taken off at the half-time interval during two of Leeds’s last three Premier League matches.

The Yorkshire Evening Post quotes Bielsa as saying: “Harrison is a very strong player mentally.

“He is a very dedicated professional. And on occasion, like with all players, I maintain a dialogue with him when I see fit.”

Stepping up

According to WhoScored, Harrison has scored six goals and provided four assists in 24 Premier League matches for Leeds so far this season.

It has been a good season for the 24-year-old so far, but his recent displays suggest that he needs to step up his game.

Bielsa seems to rate the City-owned winger highly, and given how Harrison has done for the Whites since 2018, the fans should be confident that he will get back to his best soon.

Leeds are aiming to finish in the top half of the Premier League table this season, and Harrison will be a big player in that quest.
