Manchester City could get an extra transfer boost to the tune of almost £5million as Newcastle are linked with former winger Jack Harrison.

Having been sold for £11m, City would be due 20 per cent of any profit Leeds make, and the Whites are reportedly setting a £35m asking price on the former New York City man. If that price is met, City would get an extra £4.8m to add to their transfer budget.

His manager Jesse Marsch said: “There’s
