Jack Harrison [Midfielder]

 
There's a comment in there that says Harrison should be looking to get a US passport. Damn.
You may have been joking, but he has no pathway to citizenship in <5 years, unless he marries an American, which would make it 3 years, right? And even then, he'd have some issues with the continuous residence requirement.

I think what he meant was someone commented in that article to say that harrison should get an american passport (i.e., citizenship) meaning that he's not good enough for the England squad. and Lion was thinking that's harsh! (i agree).
 
Sadly, any hope for Harrison to play for the U.S. evaporated when England cap tied him in a U-20 game a few years back.

After appearing in a youth competition, a player can only change with a one-time switch, and that's only to a country he could have played for at the time he was capped.

It will happen eventually. He's still just 24 and in his first season in the EPL.

The question will be whether he gets a call up for a quick look and that's it, or whether he will stick. A lot will depend on how he does for his Club in the next 12-18 months.

He has 6 goals on the season, which puts him 2nd on Leeds and makes him a solid EPL player - he belongs. However, he is tied for 14th in the league among English players for goals scored. The same is basically true of his 4 assists - 4th on Leeds and tied for 13th among Englishmen league wide. He gets those numbers to the next level, and he will get a call.
 
He was very good in that game. Whipped in some dangerous crosses and got some good shots off, including one that forced an excellent save.
I was able to watch the second half and it was a great showing by him. Doesn’t matter who they play he’s up for the challenge. He’ll only grow into a better player as he gets more experience.
I could point out some faults but why bother. It’s great to see one of our own killing it in the Prem.
 

Harrison joined City on a free transfer in January 2018, from sister club New York City, after a recommendation from former Blue Frank Lampard, who had gone on to finish his career with a season at the MLS club.

It was a $6M transfer.

I'd think we get more money from the sell-on from Man City to Leeds. Don't think we'd get anything from a sell-on from Leeds to elsewhere.
