There have been a couple of claims making the rounds that Newcastle have made an opening offer for Leeds winger Jack Harrison. Italy’s TuttoMercatoWeb and Football Insider are reporting that a bid has been submitted.
The report from Italy states the offer is £24m while Football Insider has it at just £18m. Both outlets are reporting that Leeds have or will reject the bid as it doesn’t meet their £35m valuation of the 25-year-old.
This could be the route Newcastle has to take to land Harrison. He has just 2 years remaining on his contract and uttered an unconvincing ‘We’ll see what happens’ when prompted on his future over the weekend.
Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is on record stating that he expects his goalscoring winger to remain at Elland Road this season. The American has already lost Raphinha to Barcelona and Kalvin Phillips to Manchester City.
However, that money has been recouped to cushion the blow. Marsch has added Brendan Aaronson, Luis Sinisterra, Tyler Adams, Rasmus Kristensen, and Marc Roja this summer to almost break even with their net spend.
An initial bid could unsettle Harrison and potentially force the situation. If he balks on a new contract, this window is the time to receive maximum value. Newcastle may be rewarded with patience but only if Leeds are forced to soften their stance.
In other news, Craig Hope has confirmed Newcastle hold an interest in RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko. Though he is just one of a number of targets under consideration at this time.
Understand Newcastle admire Salzburg forward Benjamin Sesko & 19-year-old is on list of names they’re exploring, but it has not moved beyond that at this stage #nufc

The player’s agent was spotted in Newcastle this week but an imminent move was quickly played down. The Slovenian certainly fits the profile of what Newcastle are looking for in this window.

Comment #132CH – the fake TDS is your mate Fenham so surprised you could get us mixed up…
By the way, my handicap dropped to 25.2 after that last round. It’s come down from
29.2 in my last 3 qualifying rounds.

Comment #141CH – was always going to be a focus for me after I finished that long bike ride. Goal was to get my handicap under 25. Didn’t think it was achievable unless I had a standout round. Turns out that the last one was so now it is achievable. Still requires my next round to be a good one though, the way the handicap system works.

Maybe something like that! Haha I can when I need to, as unlikely as that probably seems… I tend to in person though. Things don’t come across well through text! I’m mainly dry humour wise which comes across mostly boring and like a dick through text haha

I think you gotta point about the english language, mate.
Howcome is a good one.
Keep doing it, it’ll eventually be a word.
That’s the best thing about our lingo.
Argot creeps in, and can’t be stopped.
That’s why i never slag the yanks, aussies, Canadians or whoever for hoying new words in.

Comment #157It is reckoned, by said etymologists, that if Shakespeare was to pop back now, he’d probably understand Geordie better than any other dialect. As it’s closest to his time in tone, inflection and terms and pronunciation.
So, there ya gan!
