Newcastle United could sign Jack Harrison for this price after source’s reveal – Campbell
Leeds United will sell Jack Harrison to Newcastle or other potential suitors “if the money is right”.
That is the view of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 25-year-old’s future at Elland Road.
Newcastle United tabled an £18million bid for Harrison on Wednesday (20 July).
However, sources have told Football Insider (21 July) that the Whites have rejected the Magpies bid as they want a higher fee.
Harrison has two years remaining on his contract at Elland Road.
Jesse March’s side have already lost Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha this summer.
Campbell suggested Newcastle would have to double their bid to persuade Leeds into selling.
“If the money is right I think they will sell him,” he told Football Insider.
“Leeds have to box clever now. They have to be smart.
“Listen, Harrison has proven to be a really, really good player.
“If they had gone down last season, teams would have picked their carcass. They just stayed up and teams are still going for their players.
“When you look at Harrison, he is productive. Clubs are going to test the water because he gets goals and assists.
“It will interesting to see how this one plays out. It would be great for Leeds if they can keep him.
“But if a Newcastle comes in with a big bid, a £35million bid, it would test them.”
