'Have faith' - Jack Harrison on his Leeds United relief and Whites new year intent as winger opens up on doubts - YEP 8/1/22

-


Jack Harrison is looking onwards and upwards after the start of 2022 brought the winger some Leeds United relief.

By Lee Sobot

Harrison netted eight goals during his first Premier League season at Leeds last term but the winger approached last weekend's home clash against Burnley still seeking his first strike of the current campaign.

The 25-year-old admitted that his run without a goal led to self doubts but the former Manchester City player said he attempted to press the reset button and was left delighted when netting the opening goal of the game in the 3-1 win against the Clarets.

"I think it was more of a relief more than anything," said Harrison in an interview on Soccer AM, reflecting on netting his first goal of the season.

"I've been working hard all season.

"I think I have been a bit unfortunate with injuries and I had Covid and just being out with one thing and the other.

"So to finally get the goal was just a relief more than anything and I'm hoping to get some more from here on out."

Assessing the mental challenges of having a long run without a goal, Harrison admitted: "It's something you think about a lot, you think maybe what am I doing wrong, you start questioning all the things that have worked for you in the past.

"You start questioning should I continue doing this or doing this because I like to do a lot of extra work as well and I was thinking maybe it's a bit more detrimental now, it's not beneficial.

"But I had to try and reset myself, thinking outside of the box a little bit and try to find those things that do work for me 100 per cent and just continue doing them.

"And I think you have to have faith as well.

"Sometimes when you are doing all the right things and it's not coming off, it's just a process and you just have to stick to what you know is right and eventually it will turn in your favour."

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation. The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
