Alfie Harrison to Newcastle – Done Deal!
Harrison, often compared to Manchester City’s prolific striker Erling Haaland for both his striking resemblance and impressive goal-scoring prowess, has been a standout performer in City’s academy ranks.
The Magpies, led by head of youth recruitment Paul Midgley, have strategically orchestrated the move to ensure Harrison’s seamless transition into Eddie Howe’s first-team plans.
The promising midfielder, who joined City at the tender age of nine, has already made a mark with 10 appearances and an astonishing eight goals for the club’s Under-18s this season. His eye-catching performances have triggered the belief that Harrison is destined for greatness.
Newcastle’s pursuit of Harrison is rooted in a clear pathway to first-team action, aligning with the club’s commitment to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
