Málaga could offer him a prominent role in the team, which could help his development. The Spanish outfit is looking to improve their squad this month, and the 20-year-old could be a solid long-term acquisition for them. Harrison is a talented player with the technical ability to succeed in Spanish football. He could develop into an important player for the club with the right guidance.

The 20-year-old is unlikely to get first-team opportunities with Newcastle United in the coming months, and it would be ideal for him to move on. It seems unlikely that Newcastle will deny him a move, especially now that they cannot provide him with a prominent role in the team. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few days. The young midfielder will look to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football once again.
