Everton close in on Jack Harrison transfer

Harrison, who was signed by Leeds for just £11m, is said to have a £16m release-clause in his contract following the Whites’ relegation to the Championship.

Everton are keen on taking him off their hands, and are also looking to sign his teammate, Wilfried Gnonto.

are also thought to be keen on signing Harrison.

Nightmare for Leeds

The relegation for Leeds is going to have implications and it seems losing someone of Harrison’s quality is going to be one of those implications.

Harrison is one of Leeds’ best and more consistent players and losing him ahead of the Championship campaign is bad news indeed.

For the player himself, he’ll want to be back in the PL and a move to Everton will appeal. Sean Dyche is set to overhaul things a bit at Goodison this summer and it seems he wants Harrison to be involved.
