Agbonlahor: Harrison too good for Leeds

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor says Jack Harrison should leave Leeds United.

With the January transfer window drawing nearer, Agbonlahor believes a move to a club like Everton would be able to give Harrison an improved contract and improve his current level.

Speaking to Football Insider, Agbonlahor said: “First of all, I don't think he'll want to sign a new deal because I don't think Leeds will pay him what he wants.

“But then I look at Newcastle and can they be looking at better players than him? “I do like him but with where Newcastle want to go, I don't think they should be looking at Harrison anymore.

“They should be looking at better players in Europe, to be honest. They are so close to the top four and staying in there, I don't think Harrison is the answer.

“I think he's better than Leeds but I just feel Newcastle are onto bigger things. Is Everton the right sort of move for Harrison? That sort of level where you get an extra £20,000-a-week or £30,000-a-week.

“I just don't think Newcastle is the right place for him."
