Jack Harrison remains a key part of Leeds United’s team in the Premier League and, as such, could be unattainable for Newcastle United in the January transfer window despite their lingering interest.

Leeds managed to hold off Newcastle’s interest in Harrison during the summer transfer window, keeping the winger on board at Elland Road.

However, further down the line Leeds might well find Newcastle coming looking for Harrison again.

The Athletic have outlined that the Leeds man remains someone that Eddie Howe admirers, having tried to land him in the summer.

However, their Newcastle mailbag goes on to claim that the 25-year-old might well be unattainable, just as he was during the summer.

The reason for that is his importance to Leeds and Jesse Marsch. Harrison has started all Leeds’ Premier League fixtures so far this season, scoring one goal and registering a further three assists.

In total Harrison has made 172 appearances for Leeds, scoring 29 goals and registering 25 assists.

You’d like to think that Leeds’ stance when it comes to Harrison won’t change from the summer heading into January. Of course the player has his price but Leeds’ focus should be on a new contract rather than a sale.

Harrison is a player that Marsch has put a lot of onus on since arriving as head coach and he’s not going to want to lose him.

Whilst Newcastle’s ambitions in the mid-term might be slightly different to Leeds’, the fact is that they are pretty much rivals in the middle of the Premier League at the moment. Selling to them would be such a bad look for Leeds.

As we mentioned at the top of this segment, a new contract is where the focus should be. That is something that the club need to be working on at this very moment.
