Sources: Leeds United in advanced talks to agree Jack Harrison deal
Leeds United are in talks with Jack Harrison over a new contract and are closing in on an agreement, sources have told Football Insider.
The forward, 26, is out of contract in the summer of 2024 and United do not want to lose him on a cut-price summer deal.
Harrison’s future has been up in the air for some time amid strong interest from rival Premier League clubs.
Harrison made the trip on deadline day to Leicester’s training ground for a medical while they waited for a response from Leeds.
However, the Yorkshire outfit pulled the plug on a deal late in the day after an agreement had been reached on a transfer worth £20m plus add-ons.
Newcastle also tried to sign Harrison last summer and reportedly had a £20m-plus bid rejected by Leeds.
Discussions between the player and Leeds over an extension began before Christmas but have progressed since the January window shut.

United regard Harrison as a key member of their team and he has started 22 league matches among 28 appearances in all competitions this season.
One regular criticism of the left-footed star is his goal and assist return, but he scored and assisted in Saturday’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Brighton.
He now has three goals and nine assists from all competitions this season
As per Fotmob, Harrison ranks 18th in the Premier League this season for chances created with 41.
The winger has played 194 matches for Leeds since signing from Man City, initially on loan, in the summer of 2018, before the deal became permanent in 2021.
They have yielded 31 goals and 31 assists in all competitions.
