AliousJack Harrison’s return from Leeds United is a “key ambition” for Everton’s transfer window, according to the Liverpool Echo.
A report on 5 June highlighted that with Everton having only one senior winger in the squad, signing a wide player is a top priority.
Harrison, who returned to Elland Road after Leeds missed out on Premier League promotion, is a prime target.
The 27-year-old has a clause in his contract allowing a second loan if Leeds failed to secure promotion, though Leeds may prefer a permanent deal.
Harrison was a regular under Sean Dyche last season, recovering from a hip injury to make 36 appearances, scoring four goals, and assisting three.

Dwight McNeil has proven valuable since joining from Burnley, but Everton need more options after Arnaut Danjuma’s loan ended.
Lewis Dobbin showed promise but lacks experience, making Harrison a sensible target.
Harrison was appreciated at Everton and reportedly enjoyed his time on Merseyside.
Given Everton’s limited transfer budget due to takeover uncertainty and financial regulations, Harrison would be a cost-effective, familiar choice.
Everton likely can’t afford a permanent deal, but Leeds’ failure to secure promotion provides an opportunity.
The club hopes Harrison’s positive experience on loan will encourage him to return, despite the possibility of Leeds preferring a transfer fee from another club.
