Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has raved about Jack Harrison, as quoted in Leeds Live.

Bielsa has said that Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, has grown a lot this season.

The Argentine made the comments about the 24-year-old winger following Leeds’s 4-0 win against Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 24-year-old scored a goal against Burnley and also provided two assists, as Leeds picked up all three points with ease.

Bielsa told Leeds Live about Harrison: “For Leeds, it’s very important to be able to count on a player like Harrison. He has had a big growth throughout the duration of the campaign.”

Harrison has been superb for Leeds in the Premier League and is one of the first names on the teamsheet when he is fit and available.

This is the Englishman’s third second on loan at the Whites from City, and it would make sense for the West Yorkshire outfit to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder and is in his third year on loan at Leeds, has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 32 Premier League starts for Bielsa’s side this season.
