Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch addresses Jack Harrison's future as Newcastle United are told they will need to 'pay £35m' to sign Whites man

Jesse Marsch insists that Jack Harrison is a "big part" of Leeds United's plans moving forward amid interest for the winger from Premier League rivals.

Harrison spent three consecutive seasons on loan at Elland Road between 2018 and 2021 before signing a permanent deal last summer.

“There has always been interest in Jack, like many of our players, but I know that Jack is also very happy here and that he's done a really good job that is a big part of what we're doing," said Marsch following Leeds' 1-0 friendly defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

"Of course, there's always possibilities that that big transfer offers come in and then you always have to as clubs decide how it fits and what are the best options moving forward.

"But for me, Jack Harrison is a big part of our plans moving forward and we're counting on him this season for sure.”

Harrison was questioned about his future following the defeat to Aston Villa but remained coy as he said: "We’ll see what happens."

Since helping Leeds secure promotion, Harrison has made 71 Premier League appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing nine assists.
