Leeds United have been given a major transfer update on Jack Harrison, and it's news which will surely have fans buzzing.

What's the story?

In a Q&A for Leeds Live, Beren Cross dismissed suggestions that there may be some late hitches with a permanent deal for the winger and insisted that he will join up with Marcelo Bielsa's side essentially from the start of pre-season.

The journalist said said: "I don't believe so. From what I've been told, there won't be any issues with Harrison coming in. To be honest, I'm not sure on the technicality in the paperwork, but it certainly came across last summer as though he would definitely be joining permanently 12 months later. It may have been left as an option rather than an obligation to give Leeds a way out if they changed their mind, but I'm not sure.

"Harrison's deal has effectively been in place since last summer when he agreed his third year-long loan spell. It should go through on July 1, if not a little after. There are no concerns about it and he'll be in place from the start of pre-season pretty much."

Fans will be buzzing

The news that there are no hitches in Harrison's permanent arrival and that he will be at Elland Road for the start of pre-season will surely have Leeds fans buzzing.

The Whites are yet to complete any significant first team signings just yet, with Birmingham City starlet Amari Miller the only player to walk through the door so far.

While Harrison has been at the club for so long and may not feel like a 'new' signing, there will be a major relief and excitement that he will now join on a permanent basis and will be at Elland Road for the long-term.

He enjoyed a superb campaign with Leeds in the Premier League last season, with his tally of eight goals bettered only by Patrick Bamford, and his haul of eight assists second only to Raphinha (Transfermarkt).

It's exactly why Cross' latest update on where things stand with a permanent deal for Harrison should have Leeds fans delighted.
