Everton did an outstanding job to stay in the Premier League despite being handed a eight point deduction. Sean Dyche’s side was found guilty of breaching the profitability and sustainability rules and hence had to face points deduction. Going into the next season’s transfer market, the Toffees have to operate with a limited budget. They have already started the business hoping to achieve more in future. Everton have signed Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa for around £9 million. Jack Harrison is the next player on the list and Everton want to bring him back on loan just as they did last year.
Everton want to bring Jack Harrison back again
Everton signed the former City winger on loan last year from Leeds United. Harrison was a regular starter for Sean Dyche and featured in 35 matches across all formats. Harrison was able to score four times along with providing assist for three times for Toffees. Everton are keen to repeat the move this year and are already working on the deal.
According to Football Insider, Everton are confident to bring the 27 year old winger back. Harrison too has made it clear that he wants to continue at Goodison Park. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano who is ver rarely wrong with his reports has also talked about Harrison’s possible second loan spell at Everton. He said that Harrison’s return is a concrete possibility and Everton are very close to achieve it.
Leeds United failed to achieve promotion back in Premier League due to facing a defeat in championship play-offs. As a result they have to raise funds along with letting their star players go. Leeds want Everton to sign Harrison on a permanent deal next summer. Harrison’s current Leeds United contract expires in 2028.
