Player Profile and Situation at Leeds
Harrison, whose formative years were spent in the Liverpool and Manchester United academies before being signed by Manchester City, featured in 13 matches for Leeds in all competitions this season. In the Premier League, however, he managed just one starting appearance as manager Daniel Farke preferred Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor for the winger positions, with Wilfried Gnonto also higher in the pecking order. Leeds recently added Facundo Buonanotte to the squad, further restricting Harrison’s opportunities.
Fiorentina’s Recent Moves and Relegation Battle
Earlier in the month, Fiorentina added to their roster by signing Manor Solomon, another player formerly of Leeds, who was instrumental during Leeds’ promotion season. Currently, Fiorentina are fighting to stay in Italy’s top flight, sitting just above the relegation places by virtue of a superior goal difference compared to Lecce.
