​Manchester City have confirmed that midfielder Jack Harrison has signed a one-year contract extension at the club, before agreeing to spend next season on loan with Leeds United with a view to a permanent deal.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan with Leeds as well and was a vital part of the side's push for promotion to the Premier League.

​City confirmed the news on their ​official website, writing: "Jack Harrison has agreed a one-year contract extension with City, taking his current deal to 2022.

"He spent the 2018/19 season on loan with ​Championship promotion-chasers ​Leeds United, making 37 appearances and scoring four goals. Harrison will again spend the 2019/20 campaign with Leeds United after agreeing another season-long loan deal with the Elland Road side."

In confirming the news on their own ​official website, Leeds note that they have the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

Harrison is not the only player to seal a switch to Elland Road, as ​Brighton and Hove Albion defender Ben White has also agreed a loan move to Leeds, after signing his own one-year contract extension.

Leeds wrote: "Highly rated central defender White joins the club from ​Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.

"The 21-year-old has made two first-team appearances for Brighton and has also had a number of loan stints away from the American Express Community Stadium.

"During the 2017/18 season, White linked up with Newport County, going on to make a total of 51 appearances for the League Two side and came up against Leeds twice in cup competitions.

"Back in January he joined League One outfit Peterborough United for a temporary spell and went on to make 16 outings for the London Road club, scoring one goal."
