Leeds United have rejected a second bid from Newcastle United for winger Jack Harrison. That’s according to The Athletic, who claim the offer from Eddie Howe’s side was worth more than £20million.
Newcastle made their first move during pre-season, with the club identifying Harrison as someone who could offer plenty at St James’ Park. However, Leeds have no intention of letting the 25-year-old leave this summer and have knocked back a second bid from Newcastle.
The former England under-21 international still has two years to run on the three-year deal he signed at Elland Road last season and he is considered to be a vital part of Jesse Marsch’s plans moving forward. Harrison has started the Premier League in superb form for the Whites, recording three assists and creating plenty of chances to help Leeds up to third in the league ladder.
