Harry Watkinson reports that Everton is “making good progress” in their attempt to re-sign Leeds winger Jack Harrison for a 2024–2025 loan.
The TEAMtalk reporter claims, in a post on his personal X account on June 3, that the Elland Road contract of the 26-year-old allows him to return on loan in the event that they are not promoted.
Everton took advantage of that clause last summer to sign him initially and after good performances, Sean Dyche wants to bring him back to keep the squad strong.
Everton must be sensible in summer transfer window
The transfer window at Goodison Park is expected to be busy, but there are big plans that need to be made and it will be difficult for Everton to have a stronger squad than they did.
Amadou Onana seems most likely to leave the club but Jarrad Branthwaite, Jordan Pickford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are also major targets for other Premier League clubs in this window.
But instead of spending money when it’s low, the club are being smart by taking advantage of a clause once again to ensure the squad doesn’t get any weaker by losing a key player.
Harrison struggled for goals and assists for much of the campaign, but it’s clear that he understands the way the manager wants to set up the team and he provides great balance to the side.
Another loan deal would be perfect as it would mean Everton’s financial situation doesn’t get affected too much, and it would be shrewd business for the Toffees.
