Leeds United's faith and patience has paid off if transfer asset has trebled in value

Loan after loan after loan. Leeds United played the long game with Jack Harrison and it seems to be paying off based on Premier League perceptions.

Despite being United’s player for one season, Harrison has made as many appearances for the Whites as Mark Viduka and more than the likes of Gaetano Berardi or Jermaine Beckford. The winger is a part of the Elland Road furniture at 25 because of the faith shown in him by Victor Orta and Marcelo Bielsa.

Orta tactfully negotiated with Manchester City in each of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 summers to keep Harrison coming back. Bielsa liked him and City knew their asset was only appreciating in value under the Argentine, so it was always a move the three parties wanted to make happen.
