Noel Whelan has suggested on BBC Radio Leeds that Jack Harrison has not played well for Leeds United so far this season.

Harrison, who can operate as a winger or an attacking midfielder, joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old has made 12 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds so far this season, scoring one goal in the process, according to WhoScored.

Whelan said about Harrison on BBC Radio Leeds: “Look, there’s no doubt there is a talent somewhere in Harrison, but we have not seen it continuously and consistently when he has played. It’s been in flashes at best.”

Back to Manchester City?

There have been occasions when Harrison has played well for Leeds this campaign, but overall his performances have left much to be desired.

It will not be a bad idea for the Championship to send the youngster back to City and free up a spot in the squad.

If the 22-year-old is unable to contribute to Leeds in a meaningful way, then there is no point in the West Yorkshire outfit keeping him, especially as he is on loan.
