Everton are making ‘good progress’ in talks to sign a player as they aim to secure their first summer transfer.
The ownership uncertainty at Goodison Park suggests a challenging summer ahead.
The Toffees might need to sell a star player to avoid further Premier League penalties.
With financial constraints, Everton will likely need to be resourceful in the upcoming transfer window.
TEAMtalk journalist Harry Watkinson reports that Everton could exploit a clause in one of their summer target’s contracts.
Everton’s talks over Jack Harrison advancing
Following a loan season at Goodison Park, Everton are eager to renew their deal for Jack Harrison.
Previous reports indicated ongoing negotiations between Leeds and Everton.
The deal appears to be nearing completion as the Toffees leverage a clause in Harrison’s contract.
Watkinson stated on X that this clause allows Harrison to go on loan again after Leeds failed to secure promotion.
He wrote: “Understand Everton are making good progress in talks to re-sign Jack Harrison on loan for 2024/25.
Winger has a clause in his contract that allows him to go out on loan again after Leeds missed out on promotion.”
Harrison’s first season at Everton
Despite only seven goal involvements in 36 appearances last season, Harrison was a key part of Sean Dyche’s squad.
The versatile £30 million winger started 25 league games, missing the starting XI only four times when available.
Everton fans hope for improved performance from Harrison if he returns to Merseyside.
Given limited funds this summer, re-signing Harrison seems like a straightforward decision for Everton.
