Jack Harrison: Leeds winger to sign new deal and end speculation after Transfer Deadline Day interest from Leicester | Football News

Jack Harrison is expected to sign an improved contract at Leeds United in the coming weeks, Sky Sports News can reveal, after he was recalled to the club while undergoing a medical at Leicester City on the final day.

Leicester agreed a fee of £20m plus add-ons with Leeds at midnight on Tuesday and the winger was allowed to travel to the East Midlands to complete the deal.

He arrived at Leicester’s Seagrave training base in the evening.

But Sky Sports News understand there is a final change of heart in the hierarchy of Leeds, who called the 26-year-old and told the person who gave the deal to die.

We understand Leicester’s offer includes a significant pay rise, compared to Harrison’s existing Leeds contract, which has 18 months remaining.

A key part of persuading Harrison to stay was that the Leeds boss said he would match Leicester’s salary offer.

On that basis, Harrison and his representative left Leicester, and are now ready to sign a new contract at Leeds.

Leeds have signed United States midfielder McKennie on loan

Leeds completed the signing of Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie on loan until the end of the season on Monday.

McKennie became the third signing Jesse Marsch’s side made in the January transfer window, after Max Wober and Georginio Rutter.

The midfielder was capped 41 times by the United States and played against England in the World Cup group stage in Qatar in November.

Sky in Italy said there is an option for Leeds to make a permanent deal for an initial £30m in the summer, although this is only an obligation if certain criteria are met.

Talk to Sky Sports after sealing the move to Leeds, McKennie said: “I’m definitely excited. The January window works fast. Around one week ago I didn’t know where I was going and now I’m here.”
