Jack Harrison remains unconvinced about the idea of joining Leicester City, and the Daily Mail reports on their live transfer blog (31/1; 11:35) that the Leeds star is increasingly likely to turn down a move away from Elland Road.

Harrison’s future appears to be the big talking point for Leeds fans in the final hours of the January transfer window. Despite starting to find some form in recent weeks, the 26-year-old’s situation does have a question mark hanging over it.

Leicester want the winger. Of course, that would be a controversial move given that Brendan Rodgers’ men are hardly enjoying a good season in the Premier League either.

But obviously, with the depth Leeds now have in the final third, there was always a chance that someone like Harrison could have concerns over his place in the side.

However, it would seem that Harrison is not pushing for the chance to leave Elland Road. According to the Daily Mail, he is increasingly likely to reject Leicester. He is not sure about joining another side struggling in the division.

This is definitely good news. Leeds are being linked with an exciting name in Nicolo Zaniolo. And you can imagine that the Whites would step up their bid to sign the Roma star if Harrison is sold.

Zaniolo may have the higher ceiling. But signing him comes with a number of risks. And Harrison remains an ‘unbelievable‘ talent.

So plenty of supporters will welcome the prospect of Harrison turning down Leicester.
