Ilia Gruev has expressed that the Leeds United squad fully supports Jack Harrison, who is considered a valuable member of the team and dressing room “family.” Despite some initial skepticism among fans due to Harrison’s loan spells at Everton while Leeds were in the Championship, the winger has been working hard to regain the support of supporters through his performances on the field.
Daniel Farke has reintegrated Harrison into the squad, emphasizing that it is up to the player to earn back the fans’ backing through his dedication and efforts. Harrison has been praised for his work ethic and determination by those within the club, and he has made gestures like buying fans a pint before a match to show his gratitude and commitment.
Although Harrison has faced some initial boos from fans, particularly during his appearances in pre-season games, there has been a noticeable shift as more supporters begin to cheer for him. Gruev highlighted that the entire squad stands behind Harrison and supports his reintegration into the team. The Bulgarian emphasized that Harrison is valued like any other player in the group and is considered an integral part of the Leeds United family.
