We all know that when teams get relegated, there are occasions when players move on. There's occasions where you see players valiant in defeat and you kind of wish them well. Of the players that have left, I think Jack Harrison is possibly one of the only ones who that applies to.

Jack was as much of a part of getting Leeds back into the Premier League as anyone else and I think he really proved himself coming back into English football with the way he went about it. Kudos to him and there's also the fact that he was out the door at Leicester in January.
