Jack Harrison has spent the last two seasons at Everton following Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League in 2023.
However, his loan spell with the Toffees only ran to the end of this campaign, with his future now undecided.
The forward was a key figure for the Whites when they were last in the top flight, with Daniel Farke’s side now preparing for their return to the division.
Harrison has a contract with Leeds until the summer of 2028, meaning he could still play a role in the team going forward.
Here we look at the latest transfer news surrounding Harrison’s future at Elland Road…

It has been confirmed that Harrison will be departing Everton now that the season has been concluded.
According to The Athletic, the forward will be coming back to Elland Road with no intention of a permanent move to the Merseyside outfit.
The 28-year-old made 34 appearances in the Premier League last season, including 24 starts, and contributed one goal.
Everton finished 13th in the table under David Moyes, but will not be looking to retain Harrison, raising question marks over his future with Leeds.

The Scot praised Harrison’s impact at Goodison Park and wished him well for his future.
“We would like to thank all our loan players, who have contributed to the positive steps we made on the pitch,” said Moyes, via the official Everton website.
“They all embraced what it means to play for this club, and their attitude and commitment throughout their time at Everton was first class.
“We wish Jack, Jesper, Orel and Armando all the very best for the future.”

With Harrison now leaving Everton at the end of his loan spell, no immediate permanent deal is considered likely.
However, the Liverpool Echo have claimed that the Toffees could yet come back in for him later in the summer, depending on their other transfer pursuits.
It’s believed that Moyes was a fan of the winger prior to his return to Goodison Park earlier this season.
He also featured in the team on a regular basis following his appointment as manager in January, including starting in their final game of the season against Newcastle United.
But it’s understood that a permanent move is not a priority at this time.

However, according to Football Insider, the Whites are looking to cash in on the player despite their promotion to the Premier League.

Burnley, Sunderland and Leeds United have all been linked with the Sturm Graz midfielder Otar Kiteishvili, according to reports in the Austrian media.
If Everton don’t come back with any concrete permanent interest, then the Yorkshire outfit will reportedly be open to offers from elsewhere.
It’s believed that Harrison is not in Farke’s first team plans given the winger options already at his disposal.
The Whites are also looking to improve their forward options with two winger signings this summer, but are also looking to move on from the 28-year-old instead of integrating him back into the club.
