Paul Dickov has praised Jack Harrison and suggested that it is a fantastic move for him after he joined Leeds United.
Manchester City hero and former Leeds striker Paul Dickov has taken to Twitter to praise Jack Harrison and suggest that he could be a great signing for the Whites after the winger completed his switch to Elland Road for the coming campaign.
Harrison became Marcelo Bielsa’s fourth signing of the summer, following the likes of Lewis Baker, Jamal Blackman and Barry Douglas by joining the Championship side.
It is an exciting deal for Leeds, but it is also one that some supporters may have their concerns about. The 21-year-old may be on Manchester City’s books, but he struggled for game-time during a spell with Middlesbrough during the second-half of last season, with Tony Pulis choosing to only hand him four substitute appearances at the Riverside Stadium.
Leeds will be hoping that Harrison looks a lot more like the player that thrived alongside the likes of Frank Lampard and David Villa at New York City, and looked a real threat when given a chance by Pep Guardiola for the Cityzens in pre-season.
The move has certainly been given Dickov’s approval, who took to social media to suggest that Harrison is a fantastic talent and insist that he could prove to be a superb addition to Bielsa’s squad – who kick off their Championship campaign against Stoke City this weekend. Here is what the retired striker posted…
While an incredible amount has changed at the club since his days leading the line, Dickov certainly knows something about what it takes to be a success at Manchester City, and having also enjoyed a very brief spell at Elland Road at the end of his career, he will also have some idea of the expectations that Harrison will have to deal with following his switch.
