Leeds star is eyeing a permanent switch to Everton from Leeds United after a successful season-long loan at Goodison Park, according to sources close to Football Insider.
The winger has quickly become a pivotal figure under Sean Dyche’s management and is reportedly keen on continuing his Premier League journey with the Toffees, rather than making a return to Elland Road—even if Leeds secures a promotion back to the top flight.
Sources have revealed to Football Insider that Harrison’s potential permanent transfer to Everton is contingent upon the outcome of the club’s impending acquisition by 777 Partners and the resolution of their appeal against a points deduction.
These developments will play a critical role in defining Everton’s budget for the upcoming transfer window and their ability to negotiate a deal for the 27-year-old, who currently does not have an option for a direct purchase in his loan agreement with Leeds.
Despite not having a pre-set purchase clause, Everton would need to initiate new talks with Leeds to secure Harrison’s services beyond this season. The winger has made a significant impact at Everton, contributing four goals and three assists across competitions, and has been a mainstay in the starting lineup since recovering from an early-season injury.
Harrison’s potential departure from Leeds, a club on the verge of securing a prompt return to the Premier League, has been a point of contention among fans. Meanwhile, Everton finds themselves just above the relegation zone following a 1-1 draw against Brighton, contrasting with Leeds’ strong position in the Championship highlighted by a recent victory over Leicester City.
Everton’s next challenge is against West Ham United, while Leeds is set to face Chelsea in an upcoming FA Cup match.
