Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke has had to make plenty of difficult decisions with his squad since their promotion to the Premier League in the summer of 2025.

One of the early decisions that he made in the top-flight was to keep Jack Harrison around the team after he had spent the manager's first two seasons on loan at Everton.

However, after no goals or assists in 13 appearances in all competitions during the first half of the campaign, he was sent on loan to Fiorentina in January.

After a short spell in Italy, the English winger was finally sold permanently by the Whites this summer, as he was sold to New England Revolution for a fee of less than £1m.

How Jack Harrison's Leeds career unravelled

Harrison did not always struggle at Elland Road. In fact, he was a star for Marcelo Bielsa in his first few seasons with the West Yorkshire outfit as a versatile forward player.

In the 2020/21 and 2021/22 Premier League campaigns, the winger racked up 16 goals and nine assists in 71 appearances for Bielsa and Jesse Marsch combined, showing that he could be effective in their high-intensity, high-pressing, style of play.

Relegation to the Championship in 2023 led to several players opting for moves elsewhere, though, and Harrison decided to join Everton on a season-long loan, which was extended after the Whites lost to Southampton in the play-off final.

A return of four goals and three assists in 63 Premier League games for the Toffees shows that he failed to adapt to a new style of play, exposing the technical flaws in his game as he significantly underperformed against his xG.

Those flaws were on display again last season when Farke reintroduced him to the squad, because he looked out of place in the team's slower style of play in possession, eventually leading to his exit from Elland Road this year.

The Leeds star in danger of becoming the new Jack Harrison

After Harrison completed a permanent move away from West Yorkshire in the summer transfer window, the Whites opted to dip into the market to improve their attacking options.

One of the signings brought in by Farke was right-sided attacker Harry Wilson, who joined on a free transfer after his contract with Premier League rivals Fulham expired at the start of July.

The Wales international looked like an exciting signing on paper for the Whites after he enjoyed a sublime 2025/26 campaign for the Cottagers in the top-flight.

In the Premier League, the left-footed ace racked up ten goals, eight 'big chances' created, and seven assists in 36 appearances on the right flank.

Unfortunately, it is starting to look like that season may have been a flash in the pan for the Welshman, as it was his first season hitting double figures for goals in the top-flight in his career, at the age of 29.

Although he is still in the very early stages of his Elland Road career, Wilson's performances for Leeds so far are cause for concern because of his lack of impact on the pitch.

The fact that he has only produced 0.01 xG and 0.07 xA in his first three outings in the Premier League illustrates his failure to impose himself on games so far.

Wilson does not seem to suit the style of play under Farke because he does not have the pace or physicality to create chances for himself in a counter-attacking 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 formation.

Too many times already this season, the winger has received the ball with space to run into and either passed backwards or eaten up space before running into traffic.

The 29-year-old forward wants the ball to feet in the final third, so that he can use his technical quality around the box, but Leeds' system needs players who can carry the ball up the pitch to make things happen with explosive moments in possession.

Wilson is not that kind of player and that is why he is already in danger of becoming the next version of Harrison in West Yorkshire, as he may end up struggling for minutes if he is unable to adapt to the style.

Should he continue to struggle in the way that he has done already this season, serious questions will have to be asked about why he was signed for the current style of play, as he is currently looking like a 2/10 signing at best.
