Harrison has 'chemistry' with Maclaren
Young striker Shay Harrison feels he's made a connection straight away with fellow new signing Jamie Maclaren at Melbourne City.
Harrison has signed on a loan deal for the rest of the season from Tottenham Hotspur, where he was in the under-23 side.
He has embraced the chance for senior football on the other side of the world, signing on the last day of the transfer window and flying to Australia the next day.
We've been working on the training field and instantly we've got a chemistry.

The 21-year-old has had his international clearance and could come into Warren Joyce's squad for Saturday's home clash with Adelaide United.
City weren't able to offload unsettled striker Bruno Fornaroli during the transfer window but were determined to strengthen their forward line - they've scored the fewest goals of any of the top-six sides.
Harrison has joined along with Maclaren, who had been on loan at Hibernian from German side Darmstadt.
He said: "I think myself and Jamie will make a big impact, both being very forward-thinking, attacking-minded players.
"We've been working on the training field and instantly we've got a chemistry; we'll be looking to show that on Saturday."
City have lost their last three away games, but their home record is good with just one defeat and five victories.
Harrison, who watched his new team in their 2-0 defeat to Sydney FC last time out, says his target is to score as many goals as possible between now and the end of his loan spell.
"I'm very direct with an eye for goal; obviously being a striker I like to get in behind and get at defenders," he added. "I really want to show what I'm about."
Melbourne City are 8/1 to win the Grand Final.
City are 5/4 to win their next game against Adelaide United, who are 19/10 with the draw 13/5.
