Everton and Leeds United could do business this summer. The Jack Harrison saga has not ended, with a possibility of a move down the line.
When the forward’s departure was announced, it came as a surprise as many people thought the Leeds star would have completed a permanent deal. Harrison returns to Elland Road once again this summer, with reports that Everton could revisit a deal later this window.

Outside the Jack Harrison saga, there could be more business between Everton and Leeds this summer.
Over the last 24 hours, it has been reported by Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri that the Whites hold concrete interest in Beto. The club see the striker as the ideal fit to lead the line next season, and are keen to see if Everton are open to making a sale. A £21million fee has been mentioned, but there is no guarantee that David Moyes’ team will make a deal.
Paul Joyce reported earlier this summer that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will leave on a free transfer. This means Beto would be the only senior striker in the Everton first team. 21-year old Youssef Chermiti is the alternative, but he has close to no experience in the Premier League.
It is believed that Everton will not sell Beto unless they bring in at least two strikers this summer.
Leeds need a new striker
Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph will not be enough next season. And Patrick Bamford being in the team means that another option who can actually play is needed.
Leeds need quality and goals from up top if they want to stand a chance to survive the Premier League next season. Getting a new striker is a huge step to doing that.
