Leeds United told to accept ‘£60m’ Jack Harrison bid after source’s update
Leeds United should demand around £60million for Jack Harrison.
That’s according to ex-Whites stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the attacker’s future.
On Tuesday (23 August), sources told this site that Leeds would be willing to sell Harrison if their £35million asking price is met.
Newcastle United have already had two bids for the winger rejected this summer.
The club’s highest offer so far for Harrison, who has two years remaining on his contract at Elland Road, is understood to have been around the £25million mark.
Kenny insists his former side should be demanding a higher fee.
“I think the way Leeds have started the season and shown what they are capable of, I don’t think they will be in a rush to sell him for £35million,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“The way prices are going for players now, you would think they would consider bids of £60million. That would maybe tempt Leeds.
“But do Leeds need to sell? He has come in and started the season really well, scored last week. So, for me, at £35million, I can see that being an absolute no-go.”
Harrison scored and laid on another goal for Premier League top scorer Rodrigo as Leeds United recorded a famous 3-0 win over the Blues at Elland Road on Sunday (21 August).
The Whites are next in Premier League action against Brighton on Saturday (27 August).
