The Magpies may come back in for the 25-year-old when the January transfer window opens, however, according to 90min, Leeds are ‘hoping’ to tie Harrison down to a new deal at the club - one that would keep interest from the Magpies at bay. The report also suggests that Harrison would become one of the club’s highest earners if they agree a new deal.

Speaking to The Athletic about interest in Harrison during the summer, Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani rejected any possibility that Harrison would be on the move: “Absolutely not. There is no way. Jack stays here.”

Harrison has grabbed one goal and three assists so far this season and his current deal in West Yorkshire is due to expire at the end of next season.
