Leeds United are set to sign Man City winger Jack Harrison on a season-long loan, according to a reliable journalist.
Phil Hay from the Yorkshire Evening Post made the claim on his personal Twitter account on Monday morning.
He is expected to undergo a medical today, along with Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford.

Good move for Leeds?
As a loan move it’s a great deal although the jury is still out on 21-year-old England Under-21 international Harrison. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Middlesbrough but only made four appearances totalling 49 minutes in the Championship. However, he moved to Man City for £3.6million in 2018 after scoring 14 goals in 61 games for New York FC so Guardiola must have spotted something serious about him. If he can turn it on in the Championship this season, Bielsa might have picked up a real talent for the season. This is potentially a very exciting deal.

Likely to happen?
With a medical scheduled for today, Elland Road is going to be busy with Patrick Bamford also set to turn up too for his medical. Barring any complications, it looks like Leeds United will have two attacking deals to announce later on Monday. With the Championship season set to start next weekend, these deals have come in the nick of time and will give a massive boost to Leeds after a potential injury to Adam Forshaw was reported.
