Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has addressed the future of Newcastle United target Jack Harrison, following his pitchside comments after their defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Harrison was caught off guard when he was questioned about his future , and the winger was taken at face value when he said, “we’ll see what happens”.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Magpies this summer but Marsch has been quick to quell the rumours. The American feels Harrison had not intended to fan the flames on any transfer saga and also revealed that Harrison would clarify his own position, in his own words, in due course.
“Jack unintentionally brought attention to the whole situation because, for sure, his intention is to be with us,” said Marsch. “Even when I mentioned about [how] we listen to lots of offers for lots of players, that's the reality of what our business is.
“There's always interest in our players because we have quality players. We're in the top league in the world, but we feel strongly that the guys we have within our group right now can help us be really successful and Jack is certainly one of those.
“Jack really didn't mean to bring any attention to it and I'm sure he'll have his chance to give his side of things, but I know he's happy here. I know he loves playing for the club and he and I have a great relationship, and he knows how important I think he is to what we're doing here in the future.”
