Jack Harrison's future at Leeds United has been talked about for what feels like forever, and has certainly been a few seasons by this point.
After some standout performances under Marcelo Bielsa, and then Jesse Marsch, there was a lot of interest in the now-26-year-old, especially from Newcastle United and Leicester City.
The former had two bids for him rejected in the previous summer transfer window while an 11th hour pull-out by Leeds meant a deadline day move to the Foxes never went through for Harrison despite having his medical done at the King Power Stadium.

But despite that, there's still been whispers on the wind of the star walking away from Elland Road, especially now going into this summer window, he'll only have a year left on his current contract.
So, here's a roundup of everything that has been said about Harrison's future at Leeds...
Leeds United could be 'left with no choice' but to sell Jack Harrison if relegated
Transfer expert Dean Jones told GiveMeSport that he expects a whole number of clubs to once again go after the 26-year-old when the summer transfer window come around.
"I'm sure he will be on the radar of clubs again in the summer. I expect him to be one of the names that will be linked around. Again, it depends on how this season ends at Leeds on what happens with his future.
"I don't think in an ideal world, they would be letting him go, but if they get relegated they're going to have no choice."
Javi Gracia speaks on Jack Harrison contract situation
Leeds United manager Javi Gracia seems to have buried the situation however, when he confirmed that he was delighted with the way Harrison had been since he arrived at the club.
"Very happy with him. Because he's a player that can play in different positions, always playing well. Last game he scored an amazing goal for us and he is always ready to play on the right side, on the left side, playing with three in the middle, in different positions and always in my opinion at a high level.
"This is the kind of players I think we have to take care of because they are the present and the future of the club."
Harrison breaks silence on 'failed' deadline day move
In mid February, Harrison finally broke his silence on the discussions that had happened on deadline day, claiming that his failed move to Leicester 'opened his eyes'.
"I don't want to talk too much about it because for me as a player, all I want to do is play football and do my best on the pitch. The situation opened my eyes to a lot of things that goes on behind the scenes but at the end of the day it's how you focus back in as a player.
"At the highest level you have to deal with all these things and that's what I am trying to do and just try and focus on me and the team and what's best and that's it really."
Jesse Marsch admits '11th hour' Leicester turnaround
The former Leeds United manager was bombarded with questions about the sudden change of heart from Elland Road in his first press conference after the window had shut.
"It's time to talk about transfers, I guess. How I would describe it is, in the 11th hour, something came from Leicester.
"We'd been talking with Jack for a while about renegotiating his contract and it's gone well, but then been stalled at different moments. We've spent a lot of money in the last couple of transfer windows, very wisely.
"We've invested very wisely, but before all the powers that be could get together from all the different angles, then in the 11th hour, there's some internal discussion in a lot of different ways on what's best for everyone.
"Once it all came together, it was clear we want to Jack to stay, Jack wanted to stay and that's why he's still here. We are visiting getting that contract extension finalised because Jack has earned it and he's an important guy in our squad.
"It created some complication because of the late 18 months left on his contract and this comes in, but in the end, we all came together very intelligently to say Jack needs to stay and Jack felt the same."
Brendan Rodgers 'surprised' after Jack Harrison failed move
The Leicester manager was shocked when he realised that the move wasn't going to happen, despite having been on so late into deadline day.
"It was surprising that the player was going to be available. I met him and spoke to him. It’s something that didn’t happen. Other than that, I’m really happy with the players we brought in.
"We’ll go with the players we have."
