Ex-Everton Scout makes Jack Harrison prediction as Leeds United ‘higher fee’ verdict shared
Goodison News is delighted to welcome aboard our brilliant new columnist Bryan King, the former goalkeeper who spent over eight years as a scout at Everton and 28 years in total in first-team scouting roles. Bryan also spent six years on Tottenham’s recruitment team and 11 years scouting at Aston Villa across two different spells…
Bryan King believes Leeds United will want Everton loanee Jack Harrison back at Elland Road if they get promoted this season.
The winger is currently on a season-long loan at Goodison Park, with 13 appearances made so far after initial injury issues.
The Whites currently sit third in the Championship table, 10 points behind Ipswich Town in second and 13 behind league leaders Leicester City.
Speaking to Goodison News, King said: “If Leeds get promoted, I should think they will want him back. If they get into the Premier League, and he’s done reasonably well at Everton, it’s common sense to want him back and see how he does with the team.
“And then, if things chop and change, like he’s in and out of the team, you can start looking at a little bit more of a higher fee than what they are probably expecting at the moment. It’s all down to performance.”
Leeds have a long list of players currently out on loan from Elland Road, with several senior aces leaving following their relegation last season.
The West Yorkshire club endured a miserable Premier League campaign, but are now going strong in the second division under Daniel Farke.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Harrison, who has been a regular under Sean Dyche after shaking off his hip injury.
