Leeds United’s title charge has been put on hold for the time being, meaning those at Elland Road will have to wait another month – at the very least -for some football action.
They currently top the Championship table and hold a seven-point advantage to those in the playoff positions, so arguably they are in a strong position to gain that elusive promotion back to the big time.
During the downtime, highlights from one of their stars of the season has emerged on social media, and fans have been lapping it up in their droves.
Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison has set west Yorkshire alight this season, improving hugely under the stewardship of Marcelo Bielsa and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Here’s what fans have been saying…
Leeds fans’ praise of the 23-year-old is epitomised by one joking that the Twitter account had actually posted a showreel of Lionel Messi rather than their winger.
“Incredible talent” and “outstanding” were two further reviews of Harrison’s season so far.

It has led to some supporters lauding the City ace as an absolute steal this summer should they pay the touted £8m for him, which is something they should certainly do regardless of the division the Whites will be competing in.
Harrison has scored five goals and provided seven assists, whilst also averaging 2.1 key passes, 1.9 dribbles and 1.7 shots per game in the Championship this campaign, via WhoScored.
£8m? That will be a major coup for the club.
His performances have quite rightly thrown his name into the hat for ‘Player of the Season’ and it appears some at Elland Road agree.
Harrison is likely to have to contend with Stuart Dallas, Bielsa’s ‘Mr Reliable‘ utility man, Ben White, another impressive loan talent, and the key lynchpin to how Leeds play in Kalvin Phillips.
