The 21-year old could be the next in line to make an appearance in the senior team owing to his excellent performances in the U-23 team. Harrop is a central midfielder who loves creating chances and has the ability to ping long and short passes.

The creative midfielder moves across the pitch with ease and links play between attack and midfield. Harrop is not the typical English midfielder, bombing up and down the pitch; his style of play is similar to that of the Spanish midfielder.

He plays 1-2s and triangles and moves the ball swiftly from midfield to the attacking third. Harrop has good close control and has acceleration to get up the field quickly.

The midfielder had an injury-riddled season last year but has played well in games this season. He may not feature in the team this year, but injuries in the first team could give him a chance to be part of the first-team squad.
