Leeds United told to table big-money deal to forward after Rodrigo Moreno reveal – Campbell
Kevin Campbell has claimed Leeds United should make Jack Harrison one of the top earners at Elland Road.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Arsenal and Everton striker said the 25-year-old has “outplayed” his current deal over the past two seasons.
Harrison’s current contract expires at the end of June 2024.
Sources have told Football Insider (27 September) that the Whites are set to open new talks with the winger.
Newcastle United were keen to sign Harrison during the summer and had at least one bid rejected.
The Times revealed in August 2020 that Rodrigo Moreno earns £100,000-a-week at Elland Road – the most of any player.
When asked by Football Insider if Harrison deserves to be earning as much as Rodrigo, Campbell said: “I think so.
“He has proven himself over the past couple of seasons. He has been excellent.
“We know that Newcastle have been after him. If he came on the market there would be a lot of teams interest because he is a fine player.
“At the end of the day he is a young lad who has outplayed his contract. Personally, I think he is up there with Leeds’ best players. He should be remunerated accordingly. He should be up there with the top earners, whoever that may be.”
Harrison has been one of Leeds’ standout players this season.
He contributed one goal and three assists in six appearances.
