Reports in Italy indicate that Fiorentina have a deal wrapped up with Leeds United for winger Jack Harrison, and that the Englishman is due to arrive in Tuscany for a medical on Friday.
According to reports from various outlets including Sky Sport Italia and Gianluca Di Marzio, Fiorentina are all set to welcome Harrison on loan with a potential option to buy. Reports from Violanews.com earlier this week suggested that Fiorentina will have an option to make the move permanent for a fee in the region of €10m.
Harrison is expected to arrive in the city of Florence on Friday.
The Englishman is set to become Fiorentina’s third signing of the January transfer window, following the additions of Manor Solomon on loan with an option to buy from Tottenham and Marco Brescianini on loan with a potential obligation to buy from Atalanta. The Viola have also sold centre-back Pablo Mari to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Harrison has 11 Premier League appearances to his name so far this season, but only one start, and has played just one minute of top-flight football since early November. Overall, he has 25 goals and 20 assists to his name from 181 Premier League outings.
