Jack Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, has been playing well for Leeds United this season.
The former Leeds striker is pleased with how Harrison has been playing for the West Yorkshire outfit this season.
Stats
The 22-year-old, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, returned to the Whites in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal.
The English youngster was on loan at Elland Road last season, making 34 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, scoring four goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
According to WhoScored, Harrison has scored one goal in three Championship matches for the Whites.
Praise
Whelan has been impressed with the performances of the City-owned winger so far this season, and believes that the 22-year-old is proving his doubters wrong.
Whelan said about Harrison on BBC Radio Leeds: “This was a massive season for him, coming back for his second stint, because he had a lot to prove, and so far I think he has proven it. I think he is standing up to the test of the doubters.”
Promotion challenge
Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment, and Harrison will be an important player in the Whites’ quest to clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League.
It is a long and hard season, and it remains to be seen if the 22-year-old winger is able to maintain consistency.
