Everton close to agreeing Jack Harrison deal – sources
Everton are close to agreeing another season-long loan deal for Jack Harrison, sources have told Football Insider.
The 27-year-old spent last season on loan with the Merseyside giants following Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League.
Sources from both clubs say talks are now advancing after Harrison has made it clear he wants to stay at Goodison Park and doesn’t want to play in the Championship next season.
There will be no fee involved in the deal and Everton will cover the winger’s wages during his time on Merseyside.
The former England youth international is under contract with Leeds until 2028, but he is now close to agreeing another temporary switch away from Elland Road.
