Leeds United’s competition for a spot in the Premier League has caught the interest of West Ham United, who are considering signing Jack Harrison this summer. The Sun is the source of the speculation, which states that the 26-year-old is a favorite of the Hammers.
It looks like Elland Road will experience a significant exodus this summer. If Leeds is demoted, it is highly likely that a lot of important players will leave the team. Jack Harrison is one of those who appears to be on his way out. According to The Athletic, his new deal with Leeds contains a release clause. Furthermore, multiple Premier League clubs have shown interest in the winger, as reported.
The Hammers are looking to recruit players prepared to contribute right away in the Premier League this summer after a season in which some international additions took too long to settle. Despite Lucas Paqueta’s recent excellent form, he needed some time to adjust to life in the Premier League.
In the meantime, Gianluca Scamacca and Thilo Kherer have been engaging in combat. Recent reports have mentioned James Ward-Prowse, the captain of Southampton, as a potential transfer target.. On the other side, West Ham is waiting to find out how much the Saints would be willing to pay for the midfielder. Arsenal and Manchester United are chasing Declan Rice this summer, and there is a possibility that Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha could replace him.
Jack Harrison Is Defintely A Target For West Ham
Harrison, has four goals and seven assists for Leeds. The team of David Moyes has connections to several Leeds players in previous years. Therefore, it is not surprising that Harrison has West Ham’s interest.
It’s unknown how much Leeds would seek for or how much the Irons would be ready to put up. But if the Hammers lose this weekend, it is obvious that Leeds won’t get in the way of Harrison. Throughout his time on the squad, Harrison has been a key player. In all, he has already made appearances in close to 200 games.
And along the way, he’s scored some significant goals, including our first goal back in the Premier League and the goal that ensured our survival the previous season. He has occasionally been ‘unbelievable’. And he has more than made up for the $11 million transfer cost the Whites paid to Manchester City to get him permanently.
He has, however, taken several long absences. It should be kept in mind that he struggled against West Ham on Saturday. He did, however, also score a hat-trick last year against Moyes’ team. The Hammers are aware of an intriguing possibility as Leeds appear to be on the approach of being demoted.
