Leeds United loanee faces a big couple of months.
Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison is an exciting talent – but he is a player who may not be ready for the role he finds himself in.
Harrison signed on loan for Leeds from Manchester City and it took him just one month to make an impact, scoring a vital equaliser away to Millwall.
This long range strike helped preserve Leeds’ unbeaten record at the time and instantly won the respect of a fanbase which until that point had reserved judgement.
It was hoped that Harrison’s goal could spark his loan spell into life and show that Leeds had signed a talent capable of positively transforming their promotion campaign.
In the two months since, Harrison has failed to build on his special moment.
A lack of wide options at the club has provided Harrison with a regular role. He has just failed to seize his opportunities.
Harrison has played in seven games, six as a starter, since his goal back on September 15, and he has no goals or assists.
The 21-year-old is picking up valuable experience at Leeds during his spell at the club. Leeds are not benefitting in the same way.
Marcelo Bielsa needs the youngster to step up between now and January, or the Whites could have to consider trying to upgrade their options in the transfer window.
