Leeds boss Marsch full of praise for Leicester target Harrison

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch says he wants to keep hold of Jack Harrison.

The winger scored in their FA Cup win at Accrington amid interest from Leicester City.

Marsch said, "Yeah, all I'll say is I really like Jack. First as a person, he's one of the most incredible people I've ever coached. We like him here. We want to keep him. He's performing really well. I think getting him fit and healthy has been a big key. He's got flexibility in the way he plays. And I was just happy for him with all the things that are circulating that that he was so clear and sharp and good on the day. So that was the biggest reason for the hug.

"When things starts circulating, it's not never so easy to just stay focused on what your job is. But I've tried to have open dialogue with him and be very honest with him and we have that kind of relationship. And then he does like it here. That's all I can say. It's not like he's itching to leave. I know when I see him now I see a guy who's clear and confident and a guy that nothing's going to faze him.

"I thought it was really good performance and what a great goal as well."
