Newcastle has secured a permanent deal with Manchester City for midfielder Alfie Harrison.
The timing of this agreement is crucial for Newcastle, given their lackluster performance in the first half of the season and the urgent need for reinforcements to address their injury woes.
Despite facing financial constraints, which have limited their ability to make substantial signings, Newcastle has managed to secure the services of Harrison.
According to insights from respected transfer expert David Ornstein, the young talent from Manchester City’s academy is poised to undergo a medical examination in the upcoming days, with the formalities of the deal to be concluded for an undisclosed fee.
Harrison’s track record with City’s under-18 Premier League team is commendable, boasting eight goals and four assists in just eight games. This impressive display has undoubtedly caught the attention of Newcastle supporters, who are hopeful that the 18-year-old can follow in the footsteps of notable City academy stars such as Phil Foden and Cole Palmer.
As the deal unfolds, Newcastle fans eagerly anticipate Harrison’s contribution as they strive to rejuvenate their season and recapture the momentum required to propel them up the league table.
