Leeds set to take advantage over Jack Harrison bid amid genius Jesse Marsch plan
Leeds United are reportedly looking to swoop in for Leicester City attacker Ayoze Perez after the Foxes sent in their own bid for Whites winger Jack Harrison last week.
It was reported earlier this week that Brendan Rodgers' side had submitted a bid of £20 million for the 26-year-old, far below what he's valued at by Leeds.
Manager Jesse Marsch has already brought in one attacking force into his squad this month in the form of Hoffenheim striker Georginio Rutter but could add to it further if this deal were to come to fruition.

"I think that one name to keep an eye on, potentially, could be Ayoze Perez," Jacobs told GiveMeSport earlier this week.
"He hasn’t done well at Leicester but proved that, if given a run of form, he could be valuable to a Premier League club from his Newcastle days."
Perez has fallen down the pecking order in recent weeks at the King Power Stadium under Brendan Rodgers and would mean hindering a potential relegation rival if he were to jump ship to Elland Road, which would be a genius move for Marsch to pull off.
Premier League rivals 'keen' on Jack Harrison amid Elland Road doubts
While Leicester City worry themselves over Leeds United winger Jack Harrison, it appears as though Aston Villa are the latest Premier League rival to take an interest in the 26-year-old.
Despite the praise that manager Jesse Marsch piled onto him for his performance in the F.A Cup fourth round against Accrington Stanley, many outlets still feel like there's a cloud of doubt over Elland Road about whether Harrison will stay or not.
According to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook, Unai Emery's side are 'keen' on the 26-year-old while Newcastle United continue to have interest following their two reported bids last summer.
Harrison is favoured to stay at Leeds by the bookies, and is someone that Marsch has relied on despite his unusual lack of output this season.
