David Moyes’ Everton reportedly have no plans to pursue a permanent deal for 28-year-old Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison.
Everton have made a decision regarding the future of Jack Harrison, who has been on loan at the club since the summer of 2023. According to a report from Football Insider, the Toffees will not look to complete a permanent move for the Leeds United winger.
Harrison was an integral part of Leeds United’s first-team setup when they were competing in the Premier League. But following their relegation to the EFL Championship after the end of the 2022/23 season, he ended up parting ways with the club on a temporary basis.
He ended up joining Everton on a two-year-long loan deal in the summer of 2023. Since joining them, the Englishman has been featured in a total of 62 matches and has contributed towards seven goals. While he has done a decent job, the 28-year-old has not had the kind of impact the Toffees would have hoped for.
Despite adding Jack Harrison to their squad, they have still been on the lookout for more quality on the flanks. David Moyes’s arrival is unlikely to change their plans. With 15 points in his eight games in charge, it looks almost certain that they will stay up. As a result, the focus will be on improving their squad ahead of next season.
Harrison not an ideal fit for Moyes’s plans
David Moyes loves to work with skilful wide players. He wants more creativity and quality on the flanks and will certainly push for some new signings. While Jack Harrison has done a decent job, he has not done enough for them to push for a permanent deal.
The Englishman can feature on either flank, which can certainly help, but he is not an ideal fit in their manager’s plans. As a result, the 28-year-old does not seem to have a long-term future at Goodison Park.
With Everton deciding against a permanent deal, Harrison will most likely return to Leeds United, as his contract there runs until the summer of 2028. With the West Yorkshire outfit edging closer to returning to the top flight, the English winger might not mind returning to a club where he has enjoyed significant success.
