‘Leeds United hold talks as major Jack Harrison update emerges amid Everton loan’
Jack Harrison’s future at Leeds United hangs in the balance as the winger is not expected to remain at Everton after this season, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Fans at Goodison Park have been extremely displeased with the 28-year-old’s performances this season, having yet to register a single goal contribution across all competitions.
Some of those at Everton have gone as far as to want Harrison’s loan deal ended early, though supporters at Elland Road are unlikely to welcome him back with open arms at the end of the season.
With the Whites being relegated down to the Championship during the 2022/23 campaign, Harrison was quick to jump ships back to the top tier of English football, leaving fans frustrated and angry.
The former Man City winger now faces an uncertain future ahead of the summer transfer window.

Daniel Farke keen to bring Premier League-quality signings to Elland Road
Football Insider verdict
Daniel Farke has done an incredible job of leading his team to the top of the Championship table, with Sheffield United just three points behind and Burnley five points further back.
Automatic promotion to the Premier League looks to be a given for Leeds this season, having missed out so cruelly last term, and so the club will need to start preparing for the summer transfer window.
That is exactly why Leeds are being linked with the likes of Tammy Abraham, who has had a tough time in Serie A but has more than enough skill to score goals in the Premier League.
Manor Solomon, who is possibly the subject of an Everton hijack, is another player fans want to sign permanently at Elland Road, and freeing up funds by selling Harrison could help that happen.
Falling straight back down to the Championship after just one campaign in the top flight would be crushing, so prepping for a highly funded summer transfer window will be vital for Farke and Leeds.
