Jack Harrison’s future at Leeds United has been a major talking point of the summer.
Harrison has spent the last two seasons on loan at Everton following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League in 2023.
The Englishman has returned to Elland Road this summer, but received boos from the Whites faithful in the 0-0 draw with Manchester United in Sweden last weekend.
Harrison’s future remains uncertain, and Daniel Farke has provided an update on his status.

Farke has given the winger a target for this summer whilst he remains at Elland Road.
The Mail (27 July) has reported that the German manager wants Harrison to win the trust back from the Leeds fans.
Farke cited the examples of Brendan Aaronson and Junior Firpo as ways for the ex-Everton man to regain the backing from the fans after being booed against Man United.
This comes after the Yorkshire club placed a £30million bid for Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao, who also has interest from Marseille.
Paixao looked set to move to France this summer, but the 49ers look to have returned to the negotiating table with the Dutch club.

Farke clearly believes there is a route back for Harrison at Leeds this summer.
However, it is just not the case, especially if Paixao arrives at Elland Road this summer.
Harrison will not start should Paixao sign for Leeds
The Brazilian is simply on a different level in terms of output and impact on the game, and will bring the flair needed to excite the Elland Road faithful.
The Englishman, meanwhile, has lost the fans, and the time has come to cut the winger loose on a permanent basis.
