Supporters of Leeds United have been reacting to a Twitter post which was shared to social media by The Athletic’s Phil Hay.
According to the journalist, Marcelo Bielsa’s side is due to take Jack Harrison on loan from Manchester City again next season (per Phil Hay).
As stated by Hay, the club did have an option to purchase the attacker, however, that expired in May.
That option to purchase has since been renegotiated, though, and the Whites intend to exercise the option to seal Harrison’s permanent arrival next summer.
Lots of Leeds supporters then flocked to the Twitter post from Hay to air their thoughts on the deal for Harrison.
As reported elsewhere yesterday Leeds have agreed to take Jack Harrison on loan from Man City again next season. The original option to sign him permanently was in place until the end of May. It's been renegotiated and Leeds intend to to exercise it next summer now. #lufc

Next season will be the third consecutive term that Harrison will have spent on loan at Elland Road from Pep Guardiola’s outfit (per Transfermarkt).
Since the 23-year-old winger arrived at the club in 2018, he has made 90 appearances for Leeds in which he has scored ten goals and bagged 12 assists (per Transfermarkt).
Do you think the deal for Jack Harrison is a sensible one?
Yes, it makes sense
No, should've bought him
Mixed feelings on this. Savvy on the one hand, on the other he deserves rewarding with a permanent contract.

This season, Harrison has been in impressive form for Leeds as he has been their sixth-best performer in the Championship (per WhoScored).
To earn his spot as the side’s sixth-best performer, the Englishman has earned a 7.02/10 average rating over 45 league appearances.
Superb business ???

Unreal business if the option to buy stays at around 8m https://t.co/xxJos4t6et
