It has been a mixed season for many of Leeds United’s loanees but one player enjoyed a stellar 90 minutes on Wednesday night.
Daniel Farke could only watch on as Leeds’ squad was ripped apart in the wake of relegation, as numerous first team players departed the club on loan.
So far, only Luis Sinisterra and Robin Koch have managed to secure permanent exits away from Elland Road, meaning for others, there is plenty of work to do in the remaining part of the season.
Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson, Max Wober, Diego Llorente and Jack Harrison all face uncertain futures, with permanent moves still not agreed for any of them.
With Farke already having dropped a major hint they will not be welcome back, they will be desperate to end the season well to get their moves away this summer.
Local media blown away by Jack Harrison performance vs Liverpool
Harrison is certainly one of the players who falls under the category of having had a mixed season. He has been in and out of the team in recent weeks.
The 27-year-old was always fairly reliable when it came to output during his time at Leeds, scoring 21 goals across his three Premier League campaigns. This season, however, he has managed just three.
It was reported numerous months ago that Sean Dyche was keen to make Harrison’s move permanent at the end of his loan spell, but his lack of involvement recently has thrown that into doubt.
However, Harrison may well have just saved his best performance in an Everton shirt for the ideal night on Wednesday, as the Toffees defeated Merseyside rivals Liverpool 2-0 at Goodison Park.
That result all but seals their safety for another year, which does hand Leeds a boost in their hopes of a permanent sale.
In the Liverpool Echo’s post-match coverage, they were left blown away by Harrison’s work rate down the right, handing him a very impressive rating.
“Industrious in both attack and defence, he played a delightful ball through to Calvert-Lewin for the penalty that was overturned by VAR and put in a heck of a shift down the right flank. 9/10.“
