Jack Harrison touted as potential Newcastle transfer target as Leeds hold out for significant fee

Leeds United forward Jack Harrison has been touted as a potential transfer target for Newcastle United this summer.

The former Manchester City man helped Jesse Marsch's side remain in the Premier League last season thanks to the Whites heroics on the final day against Brentford.

Netting eight times along the way, the Magpies are said to be interested in the player with Leeds holding out for a substantial fee at present.

According to reports via The Athletic, it would take a sizeable fee to lure the Englishman away from Elland Road who still has two years left on his current contract at Elland Road.

Tottenham have also been rumoured to be another club interested in the player, with Harrison close to beginning his fifth season in West Yorkshire.

At just 25 there is still room for development and it is perhaps noting Newcastle's need to improve their squad depth heading into the 21/22 campaign.

With Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin the only two left-sided options available at the club at present, with Harrison's value thought to be in excess of £30million.

His own importance to the current Leeds side is said to be another sticking point, with Brazilian international Raphinha rumoured to be heading for the exit door this summer too following interest from Barcelona, Arsenal and Tottenham.
