Jack Harrison could potentially leave Leeds United permanently this transfer window after spending the last two seasons at Everton.
The English forward was a key player for David Moyes towards the end of the previous campaign, but has now returned to the Whites as they prepare for Premier League football.
Daniel Farke has a decision to make regarding Harrison as he’s set to announce the West Yorkshire outfit’s travelling squad to face Manchester United on 19 July in Stockholm, and there’s no guarantee the winger will be included.
The ex-Manchester City player’s sale at Elland Road would likely represent a profit as his “current book value” is said to be around £2.75million, and there’s now talk of a release clause.

Burnley interested in Harrison transfer from Leeds United
Burnley have joined Everton in the race for Leeds’ Harrison, according to SportsBoom.
The news outlet reports (14 July) that the English attacker has a release clause at Elland Road permanently, and is wanted by the two Premier League outfits.
It’s been claimed that the 28-year-old would welcome a third season at the Merseyside outfit, but the value of the release clause that would allow him to leave the Whites hasn’t been disclosed.
With the West Yorkshire outfit looking to cash in on the forward, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
Harrison should opt to leave Elland Road in the coming weeks as it doesn’t look like he will feature in Farke’s plans for next season.
While the Peacocks could arguably do with someone like the 28-year-old in their ranks, he may not want to play second fiddle to Dan James.

Farke has James on right side of attack at Leeds as Harrison transfer sensible
James extended his contract at Leeds until 2029, showcasing the faith they have in the former Man United forward.
With the 27-year-old securing his long-term stay at Elland Road, it would make sense for Harrison to look for an exit.
The Whites evidently need more forward options in their ranks, but the right side of the attack will more often than not be reserved for the Wales international.
The former Everton loanee’s future in West Yorkshire will be one to watch closely as there’s still a lot of time left this summer.
