Yeah, you could be right. He hasn't got that burst of speed from a standing start, but he's not slow when he's going! I'm pretty sure that he's a Liverpool fan as Calgary Potter who started this thread is a mate of his dad and think he's mentioned it on here before that he takes after him in that regard! Him being a Liverpool fan makes sense with him being at their academy, can't remember where i read about him being a Bolton fan but it was on some article a bit back..but being a liverpool fan would explain Lampards comment. Anyway he would be a great signing and competition for Shaq seeing as he plays on that side a lot... or am I allowed to dream and think Shaq will move to number 10 roleI really hope that's the long-term plan!

One of New York City’s biggest stars could be retracing his routes back to England this winter.
Several MLS league sources have confirmed to Pro Soccer Talk that New York City FC winger Jack Harrison is being tracked by Premier League outfit Stoke City, and that a bid has been placed for the 21-year-old “in the range of $5 million.”
PST reached out to NYCFC for comment, but the club wasn’t available for immediate response.
Harrison was born in Stoke-on-Trent, and came up through Manchester United’s academy system as a youth player, prior to coming to the United States at the age of 14.
Additionally, league sources have revealed to PST that a deal is likely to be reached between the two sides before the end of the winter transfer window.
Goal USA’s Ives Galarcep was the first to report the story of Stoke’s interest in Harrison. The Goal report states that Stoke’s initial bid for Harrison of $3 million was rejected by NYCFC last week.
PL sides have until Jan. 31 to complete signings of players, which gives Stoke roughly 10 days to get a signature from Harrison.
Harrison was selected by NYCFC in the first round of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, after the team executed a trade with the Chicago Fire. The 21-year-old was the first-overall pick in that season’s draft.
In his time with the Eastern Conference MLS club, the England-native has scored 14 goals in all competitions, while adding 13 assists for the Cityzens.
Harrison earned his first call up with the England Under-21 national team in 2017 in a match against Scotland, before also appearing in a fixture against Andorra.
The interest from Stoke is far from surprising given the intrigue regarding Harrison from foreign clubs in the past. Stoke is currently in the midst of a fierce relegation battle in England, with the Potters sitting 17th place in the PL on 23 points.
Over the past year, Brighton & Hove, Everton and Leicester City are just a few of the sides that have tracked Harrison’s progress, although it never appeared that NYCFC was close to a deal with any of the aforementioned PL clubs.

Hard to say isn't it with the MLS? But he looks to have something about him - the main thing being a brilliant attitude. Every article about him says he's a great lad with a fantastic attitude. Lampard was raving about him, which says a lot Go to 2:44, thank me later

This would be a very good signing for us. He will end up in the premier league, it's just a matter of time. Seen quite a bit of him over here in the USA has great potential.

Skill, pace, can cross, score goals

Just get it done.
Young, has talent and has a recommendation on his attitude from one of the Premier Leagues best trainers and workers in Lampard. What is not to like?
Carto, help yourself to another slice son.

If this is true how have come no other Prem team have been interested in him (or have they previously) ? I'd have thought other clubs would have been sniffing around.
I hope we manage to get this deal done ASAP.
