Jack Harrison: Robinson issues ‘100 per cent’ verdict on Tottenham swoop after journalist’s update
Paul Robinson is adamant Leeds United’s Jack Harrison could play as a wing-back at Tottenham.
However, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former White Hart Lane number one suspects the 25-year-old would be happier and better off staying at Elland Road.
According to The Telegraph‘s Mike McGrath (1 April), Spurs are interested in signing Harrison in the summer transfer window.
Antonio Conte’s side are said to have made an enquiry for the left-footer in the January window, with a view to converting him into a left-wing back.
Harrison has just over two years remaining on his contract with Leeds United.
When asked if the Englishman could be converted into a full-time wing-back, Robinson told Football Insider’s Dylan Childs: “He is capable of playing that role, 100 per cent.
“The question is, would he want to? I’m sure he sees himself more as a goalscoring winger or midfielder.
“When you look at him, you ask the question – is he of the level required for Spurs? They want to push on and compete with the top four. Would Jack fit into that?
“Would he play week in, week out? I don’t think so. He is better off where he is if you ask me. He is building his career at Leeds and is playing every week. I question whether he would be a starter at Spurs.”
Harrison has endured a mixed campaign for Jesse March’s side this season.
He has contributed nine goals and two assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.
