Jack Harrison is on the verge of agreeing a new deal with Leeds United, despite undergoing a medical with Leicester City on transfer deadline day, according to reports.
Harrison was heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road on January 31 and now it seems that he was just hours away from joining Leicester on Tuesday. According to Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett, the attacking midfielder was halfway through a medical with the Foxes ahead of a potential move to the King Power Stadium when the Whites decided to pull the plug on the deal.
It is claimed that Leeds had a last-minute change of heart over letting Harrison join a relegation rival and decided to match Leicester's wage offer - a move that prompted the former New York City man to return to Elland Road. With just 18 months left on his contract, it appears that the club were - albeit briefly - willing to cash in on the 26-year-old.
