A starlet from Manchester City, Alfie Harrison has boasted of his effectiveness by adding goals and assists to his new team, saying that he is a passionate player and always wants to win.
This is as the 18-year-old midfielder signed a contract worth up to £3.5 million with Newcastle United.
This includes a 40 percent sell-on in addition to some sizable add-ons, while the hidden price is believed to be minimal.
According to a statement by Newcastle United, Harrison signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, pending ratification.
The statement added that if the former city youngster fulfills specific performance-related requirements, the deal can be valued at up to £3.5 million.
“The size of the club and what it has got going for it is massive for me. It’s got a huge, passionate fan base and I’m looking to really push on with my career now.
“I’m an effective player who can add goals and assists. I really like to create stuff but, on the other side, I’d also say I’m a very passionate player who always wants to win,” Harrison said on the Magpie’s club website.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle academy director Steve Harper has expressed the club’s satisfaction in securing the former city youngster’s signature, adding that Harrison signing is part of a strategic move to make the Under-21 team stronger.
“We are delighted to secure Alfie’s signature. His hunger to represent Newcastle United and continue his development here was obvious from the outset.
“He’s a passionate, talented player who we are really looking forward to welcoming to the club and ultimately seeing in a black and white shirt.
“Alfie’s signing is part of a strategic move to make our PDP group younger, particularly the Under-21s, and I would like to thank the board and everybody involved at the club in making this move happen.”
